It was a big decision to even have the kids audition for ACT's summer musical this year. The girls have been part of the show the past two summers, and while we love it...it feel like it takes up our whole summer. Sometimes we feel we are missing out on other things (like taking a family vacation). Then we get to show week and have such fun with tech rehearsals and performances, and we remember why we do all that rehearsing! We've really had so much fun with Willy Wonka this summer!! And, we had two great performances, so we are very happy!
Krampa and Gram made the very long trip from Indiana today too, to watch the kids' show!!! The kids were so excited to have them here, and attacked them at the door when they arrived! They gave each of the kids a rose after the show, which the kids thought was awesome. I think they felt like stars, and were so happy to have Krampa and Gram there to support them!
What a wonderful surprise when 9 of our PoC friends made the long trip out to Gibson City tonight to watch the kids perform! Kim brought Adam, Jillian, and Samuel, as well as Celia, Sierra, and Savanna. And, our children's directors, Mark and Lisa came too! It meant so much to us and the kids that they were there, especially in the middle of all the things we have going on with the church plant! For them to take a Saturday night and make a 45-minute (each way) trip to show the kids they love them was so appreciated! We love our church family!
We also really enjoyed getting to stay for the "big kids" (jr high and high school) performance of Seussical last night and tonight. I had worked with them on music too at the beginning of the summer, and it is just a really fun show!
And, our friend/my student, Addie, was one of the Who's!

We've been blessed by being part of the ACT community again this summer!
