Day 2

Today Jasmine said that her two favorite childhood memories will always be the Disney Cruise and when I had to get out of the truck to pee in the bushes by the side of the road yesterday:) No restroom for hundreds of miles!!!

One down, four to go

Our rig is almost as long as a semi truck. The only issue is finding gas stations that we can get in and out of without getting stuck!

Funny writing from Jasmine...

Every week, each child has to write a short online essay about an assigned subject. Back in March, the assignment was "best restaurant". I just received this paper today. The quality of the writing and the spelling is terrible. She can do much better, however the content is hilarious. She wrote about a Vietnamese restaurant in Chandler that we visit periodically. "I have been to many stupendous restaurants before, but this one stands out. Vietnamese Cuisine is the elite restaurant in the world!" I didn't really know that the cleaning and entertainment was all that sensational:)) It's not really all that clean of a restaurant, and they have no entertainment at all except for an aquarium- as she mentions. Just funny content, but we have to polish the writing skills a bit!!

CEE end of the year choir concert....

Each grade was assigned a certain era and type of music. Fourth grade was 80's metal and new wave. They sang "Hey Mickey" and "We're not gonna take it". Jasmine's class was dressed as cheerleaders and football players with an "M" for "Mickey". The other 4th grade class was dressed in funky 80's attire. Jasmine and Layla before the show. Then I never saw them again until they were onstage.

End of the year Choir Picnic

After two more skating shows today, we went to a picnic. It's 108 degrees, 3% humidity and 20 mph winds. Nothing like having a picnic in the Sahara. Each child receives and award. Jazzy got the "most loyal" award. Home to bed after a long day!

Brit Invasion Ice Show.....

Two shows last night and two shows today---after months of practicing. I am the locker room chaperone for three groups of girls. Really weird that not a single other mother could have volunteered. The make up was a free for all:) C2 Girls: Ayah, Jessie, Sayde, Jasmine, Paolina, Cecelia, Marissa and Anja Girl PowWow. On the ice. Their song is "Don't Bring Me Down"
