I'm home now.

Well we flew into San Jose on time and landed safely. After collecting our suitcases and instruments we loaded our stuff in to the trailer and bus. Cecil Rasor and David Lara came 

and picked us up. 

We are home now and I wanted to post for the last time. I hope you enjoyed the blog and keeping up with our schedule. It was fun and the kids had fun and are little tired. We are back to our regular school schedule... Uh! Did I say school? ; ) Take care and God bless.

Hasta la proxima vez. Adios!

Six Flags Day Pics

Six Flags

Hello from Six Flags Great America!!! Mr. Z and I found an Internet Cafe with free WiFi and Internet access. So I just wanted to let you all know that we are safe and having a blast. The kids voted to leave alittle early to have dinner at Olive Garden. (Nice Choice!)

Our performance went really well. The Event Coordinator was really happy with our group and enjoyed our music. They were really accomidating because we were running abit late. I'll post some fun pictures up later.

I have two big thanks.

Thank You Six Flags for being helpful and friendly.

AND

Thanks Oceanaires for keeping us altogether when the wind started to blow.

It's a beautiful day and not to cold. I'm starting to get used to this state. Someone said to me that you have to experience winter here to really see if you like it. I guess I'll have to come back.

Tomorrow is our "travel home" day. Keep us in your prayers and we look forward to coming home to our love ones.

Hasta entonces!

Hinsdale Fil-Am SDA Church

In the afternoon we drove over to Hinsdale and joined the Pathfinder for an afternoon program. Oceanaires sang six songs four at the beginning and two at the end. Westwinds supported us by watching us. After singing the church surprised us with a dinner potluck. It was delicious. Kyle Botabara's father was the pastor of the church when when they lived in Illinois.

Rockford SDA Church

Here some pics of our trip to Rockford. The church was super friendly and kind. I was greeted at the door by multiple members. It is so good to know we still have churches who care about their visitors. Alyssa Fitting gave the children story followed by the Westwinds and Oceanaires. Lou Fitting (Alyssa's dad and our boys dean) was the Pastor of Rockford so it was a nice reunion for Alyssa. The church then gave us a great potluck which we eat until we were stuffed.

A Huge "thank-you" to Dean Lou for setting up this concert.

Happy Sabbath!

We are off to Rockford SDA Church and Hinsdale Fil-Am SDA Church. We get our tour bus back today! We are waiting for it to arrive. Mr. Z gave our worship this morning to get all on the right track. I hope to write later on. It's hard to believe that this trip is rapidly coming to an end.

Feliz Sabado!
