fun crowds!!

For the past 10 days or so, we have played for some of the most fun crowds we've ever had! We promised that we would post their pictures up on the blog, so here they are! Enjoy our lively audiences:)

Great Band, Kansas

















Garden City, Kansas Holcomb High school


















Liberal, Kansas

















Borger, Texas Middle School

Tyler, Texas

Marshall, Texas High school

so who's idea was the "shower-closet"???

So, you will never fail to get the wildest stories when you have 9 people living in an RV for months at a time, with 3 pairs of concert clothes each... we've found that you need A LOT of closet space!!!
However, our humble vehicle wasn't designed for 9 people and their 3 sets of concert clothes each....



Resolve: Use the unused shower and stick a clothes rack in there!! Problem solved. :)

Well... (here's the wild stories part) The other night when the bros and Dad were setting up stage, I went to the 'shower-closet' to retrieve my clothes and to my unfortunate surprise, I found that the shower head was turned ON and washing down all of our clothes!!!! (dad later discovered a leak!)
It is 1 very short hour till show time mind you, and we have 7 sets of sopping jeans, ties, shirts, vests, and black pants!!

Resolve: use Mom's travel size hair dryer and put Jen to work. Problem mostly solved:)

Mom was thankful that her clothes, along with Dad's remained safe,sound, and dry in the official closet:)

So, I can't say I got everything exactly "dry" (sorry boys!!) But hey, jeans and tiny hair dryers weren't meant for each other!! Thank the Lord for laundry mats!! :)

By the way Jes, thanks for snapping pics of me working! haha;)

We had the wonderful opportunity in Topeka, Kansas to meet a family with 10 sons!! They came to our show and invited us to their house afterwards. Thanks Powells for the great fellowship and your kind hospitality! We talked till 2 in the morning!

Here's a picture of the 13 kids who were still awake!










We are doing well out here, although it is getting extremely cold!!

these are just some pics to prove we're still alive:)

At the end of the week, we had a group performance at the public Library. Here's a pic of Mom giving the kids her prep talk :)

What a great time and opportunity! I love summer camp and love having the chance to meet so many incredible children. The kids did an awesome job at the performance! It still blows my mind that they put on such a great show after just 4 days! ...It must be the amazing teachers **ahem (who I am very priveledged to call

my parents), the awesome counselors ...Jessi, Josh and a huge thank you to Jonathan, Steph, Kyle and Isaac who took on the role of assistant counselors, the endurance of the parents(...listening to all that practicing into late hours of the night!!), and the great work, attitudes and dedication from all of our kids!

Thanks guys!! Please come back next year!! ~jenni
