piper tour is over :-( it was a bitter sweet ending. bitter because this past week has been so much fun playing with kids and with fellow pipers, but sweet because we were all so tired by the end of the week and kinda ready to get back home. we were missing people back home.
now to tell you a little about the rest of the week after the first day. i don't exactly remember what days or when some of these shows were because the shows just all kind of blend together. on thursday and friday we had 5 shows both days, which made the total for this tour 17 shows. not too shabby. thursday we went to Vanderbilt's Children's Hospital, which was very cool. there weren't very many kids that could come personally to see us, but we were being videoed and broadcast into all of the other kids rooms, so they got to watch us on their tv. that was very cool. i really liked going there a lot; sweet sweet kids. we went to another Y.E.S center, more elementary schools, a preschool (which i almost said the word "crap" at in front of 2 and 3 year olds....oops), and an after school drama thing (which was less like a show, more like, this is what we do and how we do it). the theater thing we did was after school and before their play rehearsal, and we did a short show and they got to ask us questions afterward and we told them about pipers and being a piper, and stuff like that. so that was a little different and neat. nice way to end a tour.
friday night we went to eat at the cheesecake factory, which is a great place, and then we went and played lazer tag!! that was my first time ever to play, it was fun! i got 14th place, out of 22 people...not too shabby for first time. the girls played one game, and then we let the boys stay and play another game. lazer tag was fun though, i definitely would like to go again.
then saturday we went out to little shops and thrift stores and a book store, and got to do some shopping. that was cool. i love thrift stores. then we went home.

so to summarize, it was an amazing and successful tour, and i LOVE the pied pipers!!!

now to catch up and go back to school :-\
