Culture for Kids

Various combinations of kids + parents enjoyed several cultural performances in October and November.  I am so thankful for the many kid-friendly cultural opporunities in our area!

Cat was my date at the Assembly Hall on Temple Square to see my college
voice teacher and his sister (a new friend in the TabChoir) perform opera
arias as solos and duets.  Cat and I agreed that a little opera goes a long way
but we both really enjoyed it and it was so fun to see Isaac again and catch
up with his wife in the audience. 
I took the kids and a couple of friends to see a production of "Winnie the Pooh"
for children.  Luke was salty about something.

Jack and Eliza were the only ones who wanted pictures with the actors afterward.I loved how the actors stayed in character for the pictures.  Tigger made me tiredwatching him jump around all the time, and Eeyore was cracking us up.

Ben and I took the kids to the BYU Family Concert Series presentation of
The Magic Flute on a Saturday morning.  We didn't enjoy it as much as the last
Family Concert we attended, but I'm still glad we went.

How cool are those costumes?!?

Jack and I went back to BYU for a date the following weekend, to see the
BYU Philharmonic perform the score for King Kong while the movie played
on a screen overhead.  It was so cool!

Cat helped Eliza primp in the car as we were on our way to see the ballet Snow White
in downton SLC.  We had dinner at Zaxby's first, then drove to the Capitol Theatre.
Luckily, we arrived "early," because for the third time this year I got the start time
of the show wrong. 
Thank goodness we only missed the first few minutes.
But I think I can't trust 
myself to arrive to a show on time ever again.
  
Ben bid on the tickets (at Eliza's urging, I'm sure) at a school fundraiser
silent auction and won.  It's something we never would have done otherwise,
but we really enjoyed it!  This was also a family-oriented performance, so two
entertaining narrators came out before each scene to explain and pantomime
what was going to happen next.
