Oregon Crusaders Audition Camp 2013

 Check out how many teenagers my minivan, Claire, will hold! Thank goodness they are such good (really, really good) teenagers. Three of them were offered contracts to be Oregon Crusaders for the 2014 season! The other three received call backs which I'm sure will be followed by contracts as well. (*Edit-Sorry, my bad. Four of these talented young people were offered contracts!)

 By the way, it is a 7+ hour drive from Kuna to Aurora, Oregon where the auditions were held.

 I hate to be negative but I'm gonna be anyway...Chance and I spent an awful lot of money flying Davis back and forth to Portland last year for camps. So, I thought if I could drive him instead (and get his pals to pitch in some gas money) and volunteer to cook so I could stay at the school for free, it'd be a lot cheaper. And it was, it was nearly free! But man, did I work hard! You may or may not be aware that I really don't like hard work. At all. Hate it.

Also, I got very little sleep. You may or may not know that I sleep a minimum of 8 hours a night. And I nap every afternoon. Every. Afternoon. I sleep a lot. Except this past weekend when I slept very, very little.

So the combination of hard work and little sleep was a crappy combination for this mama. But I love my kid and like my father-in-law used to say, "I can sleep when I'm dead."
