Fishing, a bus ride and many marching bands....

So Saturday was an interesting day. After going to bed at about 12:30am Friday night/Saturday morning, I got up at 4:15am to take Andrew to Desert Trails to meet the scout troop so they could go fishing. I returned home and tried to go back to sleep and just when I think I finally dosed off, around 6:30, Vaughn and Ryan were getting up to get ready to leave for Utah. So then I was up! They left around 7:00 and I found myself sitting on the coach watching my tivo'd shows. Andrew texted me at about 8:30 saying that they were bored fishing and that "Joe", Brother Schofield, was bringing him and Gage home. He also wanted me to call Mr. D, the band director, to see what time the band was leaving the school. See, Andrew had to make a decision last week about whether he wanted to go with the scout troop fishing or with the marching band to watch a field show competition. He of course chose scouts, but quickly realized that he was not going to catch any fish and wanted to go with the band. So I called Mr. D and he said they would wait for us at the school. We arrived at around 10:15 with still some time to spare. On the way I asked Andrew if he minded if we asked Mr. D if Brandon and I could tag along. Since Vaughn and Ryan were gone, Brandon and I had nothing to do. Mr. D of course said yes because he is just a wonderful teacher and off we went. Let me tell you about a bus ride to Riverside with 42 Jr high and high school students, most of whom were boys. The ride down, not so bad, the ride home, a little stinky. It was about 90 or so degress in Riverside and those kids got a stinky. But all in all it was a great day and fun to be with my son and his friends. I am so thankful that I am not too uncool to hang with my 12 year old and his friends. He didn't even hesitate when I asked if it was ok with him if we tagged along. He is such a great kid and I am proud to be his mom. Needless to say by the time we got home around 7:00pm, I was exhausted and went to bed around 9:00. Thanks Andrew for a fun day!

Until next time.....
