Back to School

This clip has nothing to do with school starting- it's just freakin unbelievable. Whether you like barbershop, The Music Man or choir- if you watch this all the way through it will blow your mind.

The Countdown Begins

Starting next Monday (August 24th) through Wednesday, September 30th, you can put down your deposit for our New York City 2010 trip. The dates are June 8th-June 14th 2010. The minimum deposit is $300 (but you can put down more) and if you don't want to turn it in to me, or mail it to Bob Guymon at Thomas Travel, you can call Thomas Travel and put down the deposit with a credit or debit card (be sure to say it's for the Eaton Theatre Group). For the deposit ONLY, Thomas Travel won't charge you extra for a credit card transaction (they will for future payments). You can also bring in the deposit to Riverton High School and I will mail it in for you (and I will make you fill out a registration form so we get the correct info for the plane ticket). The cost for 4 in a room is $1850- and you can work out your own payments with Bob at Thomas Travel as long as you are PAID OFF IN FULL by April 30th, 2010.

With the deposit we are securing our hotel (Hampton Inn Times Square North) and purchasing tickets for Billy Elliot, The Addams Family, and Spiderman (if it's still happening). So donate that plasma, sell some stuff on Ebay or collect on an inheritance because we want you to come!

August Update

So, we survived our road trip in our new minivan to Oregon and back. No one vomited or wet themselves (in the car at least) and, other then Jackie driving 45 minutes in the wrong direction on the freeway, we made good time.
Here are some highlights from the trip:

• Going to Ray's favorite Thai food restaurant and eating really good curry.
• Seeing the new Harry Potter movie with Bryan.
• Having Millie become attached to a doll that whose head spins- each with a different face. I call it the Satan doll, but she loves it.
• Jackie having to stop every 45 minutes for a toilet on the way home.
• Eating at the grossest Jack in the Box ever in Burley, Idaho. When we went in, there was a note on the door that said they were out of 12 different menu items (including burger patties).
• Getting donuts at VooDoo Donuts.
• Geting confused playing Munchkin with family members.
• Millie and Ellis playing in the downtown fountain with cousins (and random strangers)
• Eating streetfood in Portland
• Literally walking into our house, turning on the lights and having a bishopric member call us to speak in sacrament meeting the following Sunday. We think someone was watching the house.
• Going to Seattle with Greg and Judy to see this:

Great performances- definately something to catch.

In celebration of Hale summer classes ending, I share this clip which combines 2 of my favorite things: Musical Theatre and Folk Singers from New Zealand:
