Keyboards and Airports

Friday was Darby's last day of Kamp Keyboard, and there was a parent presentation. As the camp was at a retreat about thirty minutes outside of town I had to leave work after lunch to make it. It's a neat little place which Darby has raved about all week.



The kids learned how to play the hand bells at camp this week. Pretty neat!

In addition to having piano master classes and lessons, the kids learned how to play the clavinova, which Darby says was a unique but interesting experience. So much so that we signed her up for a clavinova festival later in the summer before we left the camp.

After the camp presentation we had to hit the road immediately. I had the kids pack last weekend since Darby had camp all week, and it was good thing! When we got home we had about ten minutes to spare before our ride got there. And just like that, it was vacation time. As you can tell by the below pic, the girls get pretty comfortable on the plane.



Here's a pic of them watching PowerPuff Girls and eating frozen yogurt at the airport in Phoenix while waiting for our connecting flight. You'd think they were seven again.



We landed here on the west coast about ten local time, midnight home time, but it took us an hour to get our rental car and find our lodging, which made for a late night. We had a good solid sleep, though (in fact, the girls are still sleeping). Not sure how much blogging I'll get to do this week, but we'll see. Today, I think we're heading to the beach. I predict a sunburn in our future!
