Adeline's Panda art, RSL soccer game adventure, chrysallis, and more volleyball

The sun was shining so brightly during this game!

Last week at art class, Adeline drew all on her own this panda! I couldn't believe it. Every person in our family was amazed at her artistic skill.

For our Saturday adventure on March 22, we went to the REAL Salt Lake game with our Get Out Passes. It wasn't quite as cold as the game we went to last year (you can't tell by my gear), but we learned from last year to bring blankets and empty water bottles.

We had better seats and it was a fun game to watch. It was a very late night :)

Sunday afternoons we have started doing family games. It's been really fun. This week all of us (minus Collin who had a fireside to prepare for) played Ticket to Ride. I was in SHOCK that I won because I had hardly any roads built. I'm still kind of in shock.

All five of our caterpillars we bought a couple of weeks ago are now in the chrysallis stage. It's been SO interesting to watch them at each stage. I really hope I get to see one emerging out in the next week or so.

And Evelyn had more volleyball.

Getting help and encouragement from the coach.

 

St. Patrick's Day leprecahun traps, March Madness, Evelyn volleyball

Out of order pic of Evelyn serving for volleyball.

The day before St. Patrick's Day, Evelyn and Adeline built a little leprechaun village of traps. It was SO creative and cute.

I think they had 7 or 8 traps in total.

This was the entrance to the village.

Checking every trap in the morning for candy.

Intently filling out March Madness brackets for Grandpa's contest.

More volleyball for Evelyn. She has really come to love it.

 

Adeline is "intently doing calculations" to finish filling out her bracket. She took SO much time this year.

Saturday adventure Mar 15, Family Utah Symphony Series, and helping Sadee and Adam move

Out of order pic that the girls and I at Murray Park walking Ruby to keep her out of the way of the move.

We went to the Family Series of the Utah Symphony. I love the symphony. I keep trying different options to get my family to love it, but I don't think they will ever really come to love it like I do :)

Hanging out on the top tier before the doors open.

I always love this cool glass sculpture.

They had some fun little wanted posters kids could draw on since the theme was the "wild wild west."

Getting warmed up.

We were still on the top tier but all together in the back this time instead of down the side. They DID play my favorite Aaron Copland song, Rodeo, which was awesome.

They do make it short and fun and sweet for the kids. I think my kids did like the space symphony we went to last year better though :(

And then the kids and I went to help Sadee and Adam move apartments. The girls and I were in charge of Ruby for while they were moving the big stuff with the boys. The girls LOVED watching Ruby. They begged and begged me for a dog.

 

Friday adventure ice skating at the Murray Accord Center

Grandma and Grandpa came down a couple of days and one of the days was a Friday off school, and Liam had gone on the young men ski overnighter (Collin for a variety of reasons didn't go) so because the girls had said they wanted to go ice skating more from a couple of weeks ago, I saw the Murray Center did Friday skates. So we went and myself, Collin, Evelyn and Adeline skated for an hour and a half.

Proof I was there and out on stakes.

For the first half hour hardly ANYONE was there and the ice was SUPER smooth. It was a nice change.

Collin likes being silly with showing me the "eye". Someday he needs to see the movie Deceived and know why it creeps me out.

The girls had some older figure skating skaters help show them some moves and they were LOVING it. Those teen skaters were SO kind to help them.

Practicing the move called "the spider". It was a fun morning!
