Thank you!

18 hours away from home, great (long) performance, 3 hour drive each direction (returned within 4 minutes of time posted on permission slip!), 25 minutes from hitting the parking lot to emptying and cleaning busses to putting stuff in school to shutting off lights and re-setting alarms on school , ONLY because so many kids and parents put aside their personal desire to hit a nice comfy bed for a few more minutes to get off the buses or get out of cars and help us.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!  What a blessing to have that many people so willing to pitch in and help!


Cedar Point home about 1:30
