My Sunday Best: Week 3

Best Thing I Saw: My kindergartener's eating s'mores around a campfire. We went on a field trip this week to Camp Woodlands. The kids learned about the life cycle of a tree, got to learn about snakes and hawks, went in a treasure hunt, got to go out on a canoe and even made s'mores around a campfire. It's an experience that most of them had never had before and will likely never have again. It's was so special to see their smiling faces excited about learning.

Best Thing I Did: Played a show I can be Proud of. Last night, my band played in a local club. We have a running joke going that we are "solidly mediocre" but really, we can probably hold our own pretty decently. We all just get nervous and make silly mistakes at times. Last night though, we all had a pretty good show. While I had some mistakes, it was a performance I can be musically proud of.

Best Thing I Ate: Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips. I forgot how amazingly good these were. I hadn't had any since last summer until
I visited my parents pantry this weekend. Gosh, they were yummy. So much so that I remembered why I no longer allow them into my house...

Best Thing I Watched: My friend's band perform something they "stole" from my band. My band does a lot of three-part a capella harmonies. My friend's band paid homage to us last night by adding a section of this to their own song. It was awesome! Glad they liked our style!

Best Thing I Heard: Date at the zoo! The Brit firmed up plans for today last night. We're going to the zoo! How fun! I love the zoo! We just might get along as I hoped...

Best Thing I Read: Anna Karenina. I started the book last week. It was really a slow start for the first chapter or two but now that I'm into it, I'm really enjoying the book. The characters are sometimes tough to keep straight as everyone gets called by a few names interchangeably but I'm liking it. I'll keep reading!
