Pig Out in the Park

I wanted to do one last fun thing with the kids before school started and brought all the summer fun to a close, so we all ventured to Pig Out in the Park to support Lance singing. He's now the main barbershop director and I've heard from a few of the men that they really like and prefer Lance directing them, they're actually having fun. This was the best performance I've heard the chorus do, they sounded really really great! Lance's quartet also performed and they have gigs that they sing at all the time but I forget what they are. It seems to be every other week though.

We went to the big red wagon slide, fed the garbage eating goat, enjoyed bacon wrapped hot dogs with strawberry lemonade, had Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and rode the carousel a few times.

The first time on the carousel I rode on the bench with Cora and Ezra. But the second time, I forced Cora to face her fears and hoisted her up onto a horse. She kicked and screamed (I stood by her during the ride) but once the ride got going she was all smiles and wanted to go again. I'm glad I can sometimes forcefully persuade her to do things that she thinks are hard. It boosts her confidence and courage.
