Ice Cream Social and Flower Show

Last night was a success! 21 people showed up at the concert, and we were only expecting 12! Bjorn was a little clown walking around with a chair on his head for a little while, but he actually sang his duet with Gloria, and when the shoulder rest of my violin fell off (as I was playing... the rest of that piece was not played very well) he ran and picked it up for me. So sweet! We didn't have a sound system, but since there weren't too many people we were able to make everyone hear. We're looking into buying sound equipment and a nice keyboard.

At the farmer's market this morning we were stopped several times by people who heard us singing. One lady heard us in church last Sunday, and the rest heard us at Papa's brother Noah's concert which was two days before we got this blog up.

We went to the flower show almost as soon as we arrived at the farmer's market and got to look around a bit. It was neat to see all the arrangements that won, some of ours included!
