| The kids were super excited to see dolphins for the first time in Florida. |
We get to see new places and meet new people and hear great music almost every day. At the end of the day realizing that you made a connection with someone or maybe encouraged or helped someone is also exciting, to me, anyway.
The reality of day to day life on tour, especially when you are not the musician (Kevin plays, sings, and writes the music), booking agent (Kevin books all the shows) or manager (also Kevin) there is a lot of down time. Most of the time schedules are such that big adventures can't be accomplished in the time before a show or the time before we need to leave for a show. So we wait...
We wait to leave to get to a show...

| Sometimes waiting is great because it gives you down time to spend time with friends. |
We wait for shows to start...
 |
| Surprise! Sometimes shows don't start on time. |
Well, let's be honest, sometimes we don't wait to sleep...
30 minutes here, 2 hours there; sometimes we make the most of our wait time by exploring what is near, chatting, running in circles, or creating.

| Who would have guessed a community garden with veggie sculptures would be right across the street from the show.?!?! |
 |
| Who would have guessed the kids would find a super fun box at tiny "park" on same street as the coffee shop Kevin was waiting to play at later that evening. |
Sometimes we just wait.
Your kids are learning the art of waiting, patience, etc that most kids don't have. Not that they do it perfectly all the time, I'm sure, but still. Even grown ups have a hard time waiting without being on their device the whole time!
