Ethan's latest

Ethan's latest passion has been rollerblading. I got a pair of roller skates out for Cameron and Ethan wanted some too. Jim got my old roller blades from the attic- I only used them a few times- they scare me and I never figured out how to stop! They fit Ethan great! And he skates nearly every day!

Today at school, Ethan's choir group went on a choir tour. They went to the district administration building, then to 2 nursing homes to sing. Then to a park for lunch. Sloane and I met up with them at the 2nd nursing home. They did a wonderful job singing and doing sign language for a few of the songs as well. I was recording a video of the event and had a perfect veiwpoint from the back. A little old lady came over and was enchanted with Sloane and insisted that I sit down in her seat to be closer to the kids. I told her no- it was her lunch time so she should go ahead and sit (we had been sitting in the car for 40 minutes prior anyway- I didn't want to sit!) but she insisted. I am sure you can hear our whole conversation on the video! LOL! So- yea, I finally sat because she wasn't giving up. I had a pretty crappy view after that darn it! But she was very pleased and I talked to her afterward- she was lovely.
Anyway- after the kids finished singing, they took cards to the residents and even went into their rooms to sing them songs personally and chat with them. The kids did not act nervous our weirded out like you would think they would in a nursing home with so many old/sick people. They just went right over and started talking! I was SOOO proud of all the them. They have such a wonderful choir teacher to have been able to coach them to the point of being able to do that. The people that lived there were quite delighted with the kids.
