Penn State Brandywine. Keystone College... NOT

Today we played at Penn State Brandywine and what an event they had there!!!

We had a nice long drive this morning and I have NO IDEA how James did it. We left the hotel at 6 am after finally getting in bed sometime around the 3 o'clock hour. I had planned on taking over at some point... but I woke up and we were there! CRAZY! He's a champion. But that's nothing new.

It was like being at a mini-Fair :) They had funnel cakes and bouncy slides and basketball... pie eating contests... toddler crawl... ALL kinds of fun games!

The crew was so sweet :) They rounded up sausages and cheeseburgers for us - we had a whole tray with us in the van :)


And the sweetest little girl was there staring, dancing, and mesmerized by the stage. She was especially excited when our little portion of Beyonce was played!


And SAWYER!!! He won the pie eating contest!!! Can you tell??? I was impressed with the amount of blueberries that covered his face and shirt :)



The best was that there was just a pie sitting on stage after we were done. All by itself. In its beautiful glory. To cheer us on as we loaded out. :)

SO we packed up quickly and continued on our 3 1/2 hour journey to the next destination. We were headed north to Keystone College. Only... once we got about 20 min away to do our normal "where do you want us to load in" phone call... they told us the show had been cancelled a while ago. Ummm REALLY? So yeah... somehow in the lines of communication - between clients, agents, and managers.... somehow we were the last to know that we didn't have a show tonight! Ahhh well.... In 4 years that has NEVER happened. Plus, we found some double chocolate vodka that we have been looking for... for about a year now! So bonus!
So we drove another few hours down to where our next show is... we have 2 days off to rest our voices and get rid of colds (not me... Dormer...) the boys enabled me to get Cracker Barrel... and now they are playing xbox in the hotel!

It's been a looooooong few days. But you know what? Long days doing what you love is ALWAYS better than short days NOT doing what you love! So we're a happy group.

And let me say - I am IMPRESSED by the sheer number of you that been uploading photos and videos on facebook! Keep em coming!!! And now.... I'm gonna watch the boys play some soccer, put the "Do not disturb" sign out, sleep in, and watch football tomorrow. SERIOUSLY?!?!?! I'm a happy girl!

Peace. Love Fiddle.
