I agree about percussion. My son enjoyed his drum set many years after HS, and I never minded listening to the practice as it really was "music to my ears." Band is a wonderful experience for these kids, I know you agree and I commend you for whatever your involvement is. My son's school traveled outside the country a couple times to be in competitions, once to the Calgary Stampede where it rained on them and their new uniforms. He sure had a lot of wonderful experiences and is still close friends with one of his fellow drummers.

A wedding in Scotland. I don't know these relatives of my stepmother, but they look delightful.

I remember the tubing in Jamaica. Maybe not at this location, but I do recall a beer stand being there where we got out of the water. Good day!

Taking a dip, this morning, @ the balloon festival.
