Oh What a Trip (to AZ)

Here we are at the airport, ready to headout.
I can't believe I actually got Rog to smile for a selfie :)

The clouds going down were absolutely STUNNING

Practicing, with Grandma Ben looking on.
Lip chewing - it's what she does (haha)

Two Pooper Scoopers.........
She conned me into doing the "worst" part of the yard !

Beautiful morning
The weather was just right - not too hot !
Cam's busy poop scooping

Relaxing with Zoe

Grandma tried out Bren's upside down machine for spine decompression.

She played in 3 of the songs, Dazed and Confused, Ramble On, and Fool in the Rain

Mitch, Therese, and Elle came (in background)
Bren - we wouldn't be here if it wasn't your support and encouragement of Camryn.
THANK YOU !!

Manda and Cam

She smiles...........She moves........... She plays awesome !!

We would go up to the front when she played.

They also had TV's set up, and we were able to watch all performances from our table.

John and Shirlee Lannefeld were able to come and watch.  They are from Morgan, but down in Gilbert at their condo this time of year.  Sure appreciate the support !!!

It was a GREAT TIME !!

The whole School of Rock crew!

Trip to Arizona to see our girl perform !!

Off we headed - Friday morning about 10:30 am.
Grandma Ben went with us.

I captured a picture of the Grand Canyon !
When we arrived, we were shuttled to the RENTAL CAR PLACE - amazing !!
Our ride was a beautiful Ford Fusion (Hybrid) - of course, we hicks from Morgan didn't know anything about how to start it (push button), open the trunk,  gas tank, etc............  we soon learned !!

Cam and Grandpa

We sat around and relaxed Friday afternoon. 

Nick LOVED Grandma Ben.
She was a sport putting up with him.
Maybe we'll get her talked into a doggie (wink wink)

I didn't get pics of our Friday night meal from Papa Murphey's - but Mitch and Therese and Elle came over, and we had an enjoyable meal, and talked and relaxed.   This picture is of Saturday morning BREAKFAST -  Thanks Manda, it was amazing....... not quite as amazing as Bren's hair............ HAHAHA

Saturday morning, Cam was nervous for her concert..........but we kept her distracted I think, and she didn't have a melt down, thank goodness (haha)

FOUR Generation picture
LOVE THESE PEEPS !!!

And the music room !!!

Me with my Macro Coach !!
I was able to meet up with Laurel Driggs (finally).
She's been coaching me since last April..
We had lunch, and got to know each other a little better. 

Me and Roger D.
(I'll save pics/video from Cam's performance for  another post)

Rock On !!!

As you all know, Camryn plays the Bass Guitar.  She takes classes at School of Rock in Awatukee, not far from their home.  Bren also goes there, and has picked up the guitar, drums, piano, and singing !  They each had a concert in September.  Cam's was "grunge" music, and I'm not sure what Bren's was.  We hope to go down and see them the next time they perform. 

The Crew - supporting Bren.
Jessica, Cam, Marvin, Therese, and Elle

Everyone wore flannel - I guess that is part of the "grunge" music.


Grunge is a subgenre of rock music that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, almost entirely in the Seattle area.

Manda says they have asked Cam to try out for the House Band
Also, the touring band?  Manda thinks she's a little to young for that band, as they tour around the country.

Cam and Caleb
Twinners

Bren on guitar

Singing

What?!?!  That's a foot off the ground !!
She's getting a little more animated :)
Gotta love that girl.

On the drums !?!?!?
