2nd IFRC Family Night

Hi everyone!
Don't have much time for an intro right now, I'm leaving on a trip in about an hour and I still need to pack. That doesn't every happen to you does it? :-)

So on to the pictures...

Enjoy.

Shopping and Cleaning

The sight that warms our thrifty hearts. I love discount food stores!

Stores that have their products on pallets are just simply more fun.

Hey, look at that! Josiah designed that label that has a coffee cup on it.

Josiah on a quest for under-$2.50-a-pound cheese. BTW, we found it!


After the grocery store, we then stopped at the church building to wash the floor. We turned on some music...

... and got right to work.

Family Night

Welcome folks, to the 2nd IFRC family night!

"Daddy, what's a train?"

Joshua and Nelson play "Dueling Spoons". Sounds kind of like "Dueling Banjos", but with a slightly metallic twist.

Waving to the fans. ;-)

Nelson and Joshua decided to pass their knowledge on to a few...

... Students!

Playing spoons isn't hard, you just need to coordinate your brain, wrist, and fingers. Oh yeah, and it helps to have a sense of rhythm.

Look at them go!
Nathaniel reads an original composition.

Gloria Elizabeth plays the recorder.

Looks like the makings of a fine quartet.

A confederate solider makes an appearance.

The media was busy that night.
The Martins lay down some serious rhythm as Gary sings a song his family composed about ... a rooster!



It was pretty amazing.

That was so cool!

Time for some awesome classic music.

The crowd is loving all the talent being displayed here tonight!
"Only a few minutes until showtime, boys - CALM DOWN!!!"

Just before our grand entry, we realize we forgot some important papers.

We almost look professional ;-)

"My grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf... "

A future band member, maybe?
Afterwards, there was a time for snacks and fellowship.

The young people socializing.

Post-performance review.

Josiah and Chris debate some thorny issue.

Handsome little boy.

But alas, all good things must come to an end.

The End
