New York... New York!!!!

After 8 months of planning, practicing, ups and downs, tiring practices, canceling everything ... Kenzi and I finally spent 8 days in New York with her Choir on America's Got Talent.  At some point I need to detail everything... stage school, getting Work Permits, Trust Funds, the contracts and everything that went into getting 100 kids + their chaperone to New York.  It was exciting and tiring and an amazing experience!!!!!
