Hi-5 Journal

Having Fun!!
Hello!
I hope that everyone's doing well and getting a little taste of Spring as we are getting in New York. We're all enjoying a few days off beforing starting up again...we'll soon be in Ohio and I know that I'm very excited to start meeting people in the middle of the country instead of just up and down the coasts:). (Also, I'm super excited to see Chicago and St. Louis because I've never been to those cities before).

Well, the tour has been going amazingly well. I know it's been harder to get pictures and to talk when there are so many kids in the audience - we try to devise ways to have more time with you guys and girls all the time! But, I think it's pretty cool to have so many people in the same place at the same time singing all the same songs and dancing all the same dances. It's like a big party! And I have to say a huge thanks to all the moms and dads for traveling to the shows. I know that a lot of the parents are traveling for hours and staying in hotels to see the show, so thanks for your support. We'll all keep working hard to have as much fun as possible...tough job, huh? (heehee)

OH! And I'm so excited that everyone's getting to see the new shows! Now, by the time we get back to California everyone will know all of the songs. I hope you like them. OK, I have to go play with my kitties before we hit the road again. And to the family who gave us all butterfly necklaces a special thanks, butterflies and kitties are my favorites! And also, thanks to all the families who have really helped us feel at home and to all the kids who have drawn pictures and been so sweet, we definitely appreciate it. Talk to you all again soon!

love,
Karla

MERIDEN, CT!!
Hey guys,

Sorry it's taken me so long to write you all. We have had the most amazing couple of weeks since I last wrote!!! Wow! I am just amazed at how many of you are coming out to see us. It is really wonderful and I thank all of you who have driven for hours and hours to make it to the shows. You don't know how much that means to all of us. I am also very impressed with all of the awesome outfits and signs we've been seeing!!! You guys look better than we do!:)

We are now in Connecticut-a place I have never been so that's always exciting for me. New Jersey was great! So many of you. Annapolis!!! You guys blew us away. And what a gorgeous town. I loved it so much. We all went out to dinner one night downtown and the hostess at the restaurant recognized us--it was very sweet. We signed a picture for the boy she babysits. It's funny how that keeps happening more and more now. It's almost wierd. I think we all were wondering if anyone was watching the show for so long that now when we see how excited all of you are, it makes it more real! I find myself really excited for every single show--each one is so different.

Thanks again you guys. I need to give a shout out to our wonderful "easter bunny" in Wheaton and Annapolis, our cute little Demetrius and his mom Sheannette for their wonderful email and picture, and of course everyone who brought us little goodies (the chocolates were awesome! the roses were beautiful and each and every drawing and picture and card is so precious---thanks Paula and Jennifer, Mike and Chelsea and Xanoer, Scott and Amy and Seth, Emmabelle, Molly, Katie, Skylar (tell your daddy come football season if the packers are playing the eagles I will be giving him a call ;)) Thank you to all of you and everybody else who have been so supportive!!! You guys rock!!!

I can't wait to meet more of you and maybe see some friendly faces again this weekend. Take care and enjoy the new episodes. Hope you guys are learning the new dance steps so you're ready for the show!!!


All my love,

Jenn

I can finally contribute to the group!!:)
So, I must explain that I have not been ignoring the website on purpose or trying to be the aloof, anti-social member of Hi-5...I'm just the only one without a computer with me on tour (heehee)! But, I finally had a chance to read through the sweet letters and emails that everyone has been sending to us and I thought, "well, Miss Karla, I think it's about time that you wrote something back." (I never have been good with Thank You notes. I always write them and never send them out).

Anyway, I want to start by saying thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU to everyone who's been watching the shows at home and coming out to see them at the Westfield Malls. We have had such a blast so far meeting all of you and your parents.

We're all in Florida right now and I have to say that those of you who see us after this week are going to see five tan looking Hi-5 members. We have been trying to soak in as much sun as possible, and luckily the weather has allowed for that. And I don't know about you guys and girls, but I can stay out in the water all day long.

Other than that we've just been resting and gearing up to do another batch of shows in Florida, North Carolina and New Jersey next week. I think we're all really excited to start performing again. I know I am after seeing all of those amazing dancers out in California!

Well, that's all for now...hope things are as sunny for you as they are for us and I can't wait to see you on the road!!

love,
Karla
