Steve and Lori gave the girls an awesome assortment of Asian currency.  Really cool!

Going away bash!

The Norsemen clan threw an awesome going away bash for adults and kids at the eZone.  There were about 60 people there and it included a custom "going away group singing" performance.  What a great group of friends!

At 7pm sharp... a flash mob took shape and serenaded us with a multi-part, multi-song mishmash.  Hillarious and touching!

Song 1: So long farewell

LADIES

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall 

And the bells in the steeple too.
And up in the nursery some
absurd little birds
Keep popping up to say,

KIDS JUMP UP

"Cuckoo" (Cuckoo, cuckoo)

MEN (stand up)
Regretfully they tell us but firmly they compel us  To say goodbye to you.

ALL: So long (wave right hand), farewell (wave left hand), auch wiedersehen (bow or curtsey),good bye (wave both hands).  Men and kids sit down.

Song 2: Jet Plane

LADIES (move out to be standing all together and start singing while moving out)
Because
Your bags are packed
You're ready to go
You're standing here, inside the e-zone.

We have to sing this song to say good-bye

MEN waving LIGHTERS (move out to stand behind/beside women)
Cause Your leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when we'll see you again
Oh, Tyndalls, you have to go
Song 3: I will remember you by Sara Mclachlan

LADIES (with tissues)

We will remember you

Na na na na na…

MEN: (having secretly put on eye patches – turn around to sing their part)

Will you remember us?
Song 4: Nananana Nananana Hey Hey Hey Goodbye

KIDS: (waving different flags for countries they are going to and come join adults)
Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey hey hey
Good-bye

Na na na na

Na na na na

Hey hey hey

Good-bye

Song 5: Time of your life by Greenday

ALL:
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
We hope you have the time of your life

ALL SLOWLY and SOFTLY
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
We hope you have the time of your life
