Had a great time. All 3 kids had things going on with other friends, 
so they popped in at different times. When they started to get restless, I 
just let them run off rather than trying to keep them at the mike.
They seemed to hang in there for about 30 mins before starting to 
fidget.  6 hours is probably too long for any one kid, but it is 
great when you have 3! 

We all had a fun time! 
Tnx Tree and BARC!! See every one in the next one...
