Hawaii Trips

Both Cara and Jenna are in Hawaii right now. Jenna with her school choir and Cara with her school band. Two different trips, two different itineraries. Have heard for both girls and they are having a great time. Cara was excited to see open water grey whales right next the their boat. Jenna spent Thursday snorkeling in Hanama Bay and reported seeing sea turtles and other wonderful creatures. She used her underwater camera so we are looking forward to seeing her pictures. Her group performs today at the Morman college on the big island for a choir festival. They also sang on the Missouri earlier in the week. Cara's group is not performing this trip...fun, fun, fun! They have spent time on the beach, at the international mart (actually the girls ran into each other there), hiking up Diamond Head, and attending luaus...life's a beach. More when they get home tomorrow night.

New Driver's On Road

Jenna and Cara passed their "Behind the Wheel" drive test on Tuesday, April 12, 2005. It's official, they are free and on the road. Unteathered at last. Jenna is ecstatic! She has been wanting to drivec since she was ten...at last! Cara, although more subdued about the whole thing is excited to be able to drive all of the cars that she is so very passionate about. Ask her anything about cars...she probably knows the answer.

Hawaii Trips

Cara will be traveling to Hawaii with MCHS Band Sunday, April 17 to Sunday April 24.
Jenna will be traveling to Hawaii with MCHS Choir Tuesday, Apirl 19 to Sunday, April 24.

These are two separate trips with separate itineraries. Cara's group will not be performing as they could not afford to ship all of their instruments. Jenna will be performing with Bel Canto and the Advanced Choir at various locations throughout Hawaii.

Watch for more information on their trips.
