Fall Break

One thing you should know about Christopher, he has absolutely no filter.  He says what he thinks.  He also knows his aunt loves him and is super nice and has been very generous to him, and he knows that if mom can't or won't pay for something his Aunt Corrine will.

When Corrine came out for Nick's homecoming,  she probably wasn't in the house for more than 5 minutes before Christopher told her that he hadn't been to DisneyWorld in 7 years, (hint, hint) and he wanted to know when he was going to visit her at her house.

So she bought us tickets to come out for Fall Break.

Always have to take a picture of the wing.

I love Christopher's eyewear of choice. 

It was beautiful there of course.  We went down to the lake to take some pictures.  I'm not the best at sending pictures so Corrine decided we needed to take some pictures so she could have some of my kids.

First thing Maddie did was climb a tree.  In her bare feet. 

Advanced Vocal - 2nd Gen

Maddie was so excited to make it into Advanced Vocal.  Ever since she first saw them perform, back when she was in the 8th grade and came to her first High School Choir concert, she wanted more than anything to be in that group.  And guess what? 

It's WAY harder and more nerve wracking than she thought.  You have to know your part, and sing out, but if mess up, it will be noticeable.  There's no where for your voice to hide.

She's quickly becoming really good friends with most of these kids.  I can't tell you how many of them that she has declared that she "Loves them with her whole heart."  Of course she says that about a great many people, so I don't know how the math on that works.

Of course being in Advanced Vocal also means she has to be in Concert Choir.  Which just means there is a lot more people for her to love with her whole heart.

And then of course there is one of her friends that comes to the concert and likes to bring her flowers, but thinks real ones are a waste of money, so she brings fake ones, and ones that light up or dance.   She isn't in choir, but Maddie loves her with her whole heart too.

There's a lot of love going around.
