Two Concerts in One Day??? MADNESS!

We started our morning worshipping at Faith Lutheran Church and performing Cantate Domino. Then we had to rush to change and get on our way to Vancouver, Washington for a concert! We got there just in time to change into our concert clothes, say hello to Matt and Becky, and perform our full concert for St. Andrews Lutheran Church. We got lots of praises for our concert but the best part was the potluck they put on for us! We got to spend lots of bonding time with Matt and Becky Anderson who have fit in quite well at their new church! We got to shower in indoor warm showers and sleep on mats which put everyone in the best moods for the next day!

Crater Lake Pictures













Crater Lake

We got to spend a beautiful day oohhing and awwwing at the gorgeous creation known as Crater Lake! When we first saw it I think everyone was speechless which led to the first moment of silence on this trip (not including sleeping)! Was was even more amazing than the lake is the amount of snow in the area in the middle of summer!!! All of us California kids couldn't help but touch it, throw it, and play in it! We had an amazing day.

Happy Birthday!










Happy Birthday Charlotte!

We spent the majority of July 8th celebrating Charlotte Trent's 18th Birthday! The bus was decorated with streamers, balloons and lots of "Over the Hill" decorations! We had a blast teasing her about her new adult responsibilities and I think it was a successful SrLL birthday!! Most of the day was spent driving, but we still had fun listening to music, sleeping, entering Oregon, and see Mt. Shasta!

Davis, California

We started our bright and early day with a relaxing trip to South Lake Tahoe! We all got to dip our toes into the lake and catch frogs! Then we had a day of driving and sleeping when suddenly we arrived at the beloved Jelly Belly Factory! We had such a blast filling our bags with the thousands of flavors of Jelly Bellys! To say the least we had a fun-filled and relaxing day!!

Our Beautiful Day in Mammoth

Our day started of exploring some of mammoth’s natural wonders. We hiked to Devil’s Postpile, which celebrated it’s 100th birthday today! We then traveled to beautiful South Lake Tahoe, where we experienced Hope Lutheran Church’s hospitality and our first outdoor shower of Choir Tour! Who knows what tomorrow brings all we know is we will end of in Davis, California!
