Christmas Sing-outs!

This a busy time for us with Christmas shipping, sports and barbershop sing-outs. Monday, Dale and the boys had their first sing-out at the large veterans complex in King. They had four stops and to see the joy on the faces of the men and women that served our country in their youth was so precious. At the first stop there was some side entertainment as a bat was in the building and dive bombing some of the singers as they entertained the residents. (See video) The people at the home insisted that was the first time they ever had a bat there. At the second stop, when the group sang Silent Night there was a lady who just wept. Summer noticed that and guess who got emotional at the next stop, when they sang Silent Night. I looked down and there is Summer just sobbing. She managed to pull herself together enough to enjoy to pizza buffet that came later.

That was a bat. It was interesting. Chantel was hanging behind me and Summer wanted a closer view. The bat finally settled down and parked himself on the wall. Summer had to get as close as she could to see what he looked like.
