And what a wide-spread education they had with such traveling. Umbrella Rock is pretty amazing too, but I don't know about letting the kids climb up there? I was probably one of those slightly over-protective parents. Then again, my son rode a motorcycle, one daughter bungee-jumped & parasailed, and the other sky-dived out of an airplane and tried rock climbing so it appears I didn't stunt their enthusiasm for thrills too much!

I cannot imagine traveling with so many children for so long and with so little supervision for them.

So glad you mentioned the buses, because I wondered just how all those children would travel! Glad that the Davenports had a vision, and gave these kids such interesting times. Travel is certainly a great education! Wonder if any of the children grew up to tell their version of the performances, education and tour!

It's supposed to take a village and if the parent's not around and the child's in danger, it seems okay to warn them, but nowadays, I expect one would be sued. smkelly8https://www.blogger.com/profile/17518117558253969023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-65444611762243748152018-05-20T16:28:10.848-04:002018-05-20T16:28:10.848-04:00A wonderful,history of the Children’s Band, and yo...A wonderful,history of the Children’s Band, and your introductory photographs matched the prompt so well. Umbrella Rock reminded me so much of Brimham Rocks 3000+ miles away in Yorkshire, that I featured in my post.
