Yesterday Julia and I went to Kings Junior Voices, a sort of choir thing. We are to go every Saturday from 10:30-12:00 in the morning. When we got in we signed in and got a folder each (mine was number 13 ) then we started with saying a tongue twister. After that we played a game, then we sang 2 songs and went in a circle and sang a poem. Then our teacher told us that we could have a 5 min break to go to the toilet or drink from our water bottles, then we sang two last songs and it was time to go.

Jim and I are excited to have the girls join this children's choir. The school where they practice (Kings College school) is a boarding school for 'choristers,' children who are prepared for major singing events. This school is where the King's College boys choir comes from. Obviously, our children are not part of such an elite group, but it is still wonderful for them to have this opportunity to sing while we are here in Cambridge.

The rest of the family walked to downtown Cambridge (while they were practicing) and did a little shopping, enjoying the sunny day and looking for construction sites (Andrew's favorite thing.)
