Aiden is very musically talented. He was asked to join the district All-Star Band in February. This is a huge accomplishment because he only began playing the clarinet in October. Usually it takes at least a year, sometimes longer, for the kids to move out of beginning band and up to Advanced and only about 50 in the entire district go onto All-Stars. But he is so gifted, they asked him to try out and he made it. On top of the four concerts they had at the schools, he got to perform at Knott's Berry Farm. We totally had the most people there. Some parents just sent their kids, some just the parents went, but we took a lot of peeps. Our entire family of six went, along with Grandma, Grandpa, Oma, Darryl, Alex, Desi and Manny (for a total of 13 people). We are so proud of Aiden's accomplishments and can't wait to go again next year and the next and the next! Here are a few pics from the day. If you get a chance, ask the kids about all the rides they went on! It was empty so we go tto go on a lot of rides. We even cheated a little and made wood wedges for Noah's shoes. He was 1/2 inch too short, so we helped him out a bit! Ari was the bravest. She went on everything she was able to. (She's 2 inches too short for Silver Bullet still!) She even went on Xcellerator two times and Supreme Scream!
