We had a power outage today at Guitar Center. My student (about nine) and his younger brother (about five) and I went on a mission to see if the power was also out at Hobby Lobby, next door. It was. The stop lights at the nearby intersection were also out. The kids and I passed the time playing freeze tag, It was fun. The power was back on again within 15 minutes. Have you ever played freeze tag?

I am not sure what is freeze tag but it is good that the power is out for only 15 minutes

It's a game where the person has to freeze when you tag them (if you are "it"). Then the other kids have to tag the frozen person to "unfreeze" him.

I bet you had your own forms of "tag" as a child.

Sounds like you had a fun time today without the power. I remember playing freeze tag growing up

So was that session cut short or will be extended at another date and time? I suppose extending would throw off the schedule for the rest of the afternoon.
