There are small steps in letting go of your children and giving them independence, this was one of those leaps. Wyatt went on his first trip without his parents to the "Big City" of Chicago on the L.C. School band tour in March. I packed him up, prayed, and sent hin on his way. They flew out of Seattle to Chicago and spent five days touring the city, visiting colleges, and performing at different schools around the area. My final instructions were -- take pictures with people in them. So much for listening to mom, he took some great photos at the Museum of Science and Industry and the John Hancock building, but where are the people? Fortunately, mom chaperone Val, shared her "people photos" with me.

Thanks to all who organized the trip and took care of our kids on tour - Wyatt had a great time!
