Tour Pictures!

HI! D'ja miss me? eh hehe heh heh... sorry. It took a little longer than I had initially thought to get my paws on some tour pictures, but here they are!

Here's Katie, Cherl, and Danielle P. at the St. Louis cathedral in New Orleans (yes, confusing, I know) This was built to honor the first visit of the pope to French ruled Louisiana.
The Swiss Band Robinson! Just kidding! This was in Mississippi where there's all these great trees with thick, droopy branches that totally made me think of Josh's book trees. I climbed up to the top of this one, but the other guys chickened out and made me come down for a picture :)
Me and the ladies enjoying the "refreshing" waters of the Atlantic in Mississippi. Not as pretty as Florida. and definately not as pretty as Cali. Trust me. But it was still great to be by the big "blue" again and show off our stunning Idaho tans.
welcome to the bus. This is where we spent most of our time from 5 AM to about 2 PM everyday. yup.
Oh Davey Dave dave...That's getting a little TOO friendly with the natives.

We found an unopened bottle of wine on the beach in Pensecola which we fondly refered to as "pirate bait", and left the locals a helpful hint towards salvation.
After one of our Touristy stops about 70% of the kids on tour decided to get tin whistles (me included!) I couldn't help but allow myself a little laughter seeing all the clarinet players trying to play the flute.
Me and Sarah doing what we do best - look adorable.
This is one of the fanciest venues we played at. I remember it had a really interesting backstage that was reaaallly old. It went way up into the catwalks above the stage and even had an old bell tower! I was somewhat tempted to go play Quasi Modo for a while, but I resisted the urge.
Yes, this is real. We got pretty tired towards the end of tour :)

Danielle Parkin (my long lost twin) making friends with her food. The South has made us quite barbaric, as you see.
Jannette and I trying on our masks while Ashley...is Ashley hee hee
Mourning the loss of the best chocolate cake in the world.
Hanging out in the "Death by Jazz" store in N'oleans.
Much WARMER beach in Florida. We couldn't go change because we had a concert in an hour, but we ended up getting soaked anyway!

My brother from another mother, Jeremy, being creepy with one of my new masks.
Jannette giving the enemy a taste of the USS Alabama's (invisible) guns
Lovely ladies all in a row at the Baton Rouge Temple.
Laura Plantation in Louisiana, which miraculously survived the storm. Unfortunately, only a couple of the slaves quarters were preserved. I learned a lot here.
More nap time

Kelsey getting a little too friendly with the historic artifacts.
Habitat for Humanities! (I'm the dork with the hat)
The Horn section was cool enough to pose for this picture for me!
This ironclad miraculously survived the Civil War, the Sahara, and Hollywood. Jk -very cool. They still had most of the gears for the oars in tact and the cannons were HUGE. They were about twice as long as me and about 3 feet across.

They were just asking to get wet by standing so close to the water, so I ambushed!
Janette and Katie enjoying the generosity of their host family
Jazz the way its supposed to be, man. right on.
that little girl right there in the middle was a crawdad pro. She could shell one of those perfectly in about half a second. It took me about 5, and I'd done it before...

Apparently Avril Lavringe was in pensecola while we were there...because her groupies and her bus were staying at our Best Western. So obiviously Sam had to confess his undying love while he still could. I think I talked to the drummer a little when we were unpacking. Pretty cool guys.
Ze Baton Rouge Temple. We had a great time doing baptisms and hearing all the french names.
I had a brief scrape with death in Pensecola. Thankfully Baywatch was in full force, full soundtrack, slow mo, and David Hasslehoff. Ok, so I lied about Hasslehoff, but I think Ben counts.
The Clarinet section. This was just too cute to miss.



TTFN!
