Titanic Exhibition

A couple of weeks ago, I had heard about this Titanic Exhibition that was coming to Salt Lake for a couple of months. I had looked into tickets and they were fairly pricey, so after talking to the kids and Ryan, we decided to take just Liam. He is the one into most of those kinds of historical things. The three of us were very excited to go. This pic above is out of order, but that was to represent how cold the water was after the ship sank. It was SO freezing. I would never have made it. I could barely put my hand on it enough to take a picture!

Walking into the ship. 

Near the first class cabin area. We each got a name of someone to take through. 

My person was a first class passenger. I survived. Collin and Liam had 2nd class people and they didn't survive :(

Replica of the grand staircase. I didn't realize this went down several levels.

Third class area. It actually seemed pretty decent to me. But they said for most people 3rd class in Titanic was like 2nd class in other ships. 

Replica of promenade area with the night sky. 

And the crazy cold iceberg. It was really fun just to have the three of us. Liam appreciated reading all of the details like me and I learned a lot I didn't know. 
 

Evelyn starts back up volleyball

This past Monday, Evelyn started back up her Murray rec volleyball league. She is on the "black panthers" team and had a lot of fun. 

I can tell she is a little rusty from not playing and we will have to try and go over to the church gym to practice sometimes again. But overall, everyone on her team was very positive and encouraging and her coach is very nice so those are all good things!

She had a couple of good bump and serves. They won one out of four games, but two of the ones they lost were VERY close within a couple of points. 

Action shot. So she does it on Mondays for 6 weeks so that makes Mondays a busy day for her and I. 

Great job Evelyn! It is fun watching you play!
 

Halloween afternoon/evening trick or treating

Liam went as the cook from Ratatouille movie. He hung out with some friends most of the afternoon and evening. 

I took the girls to the most efficient trick or treating place ever, Ryan's work. Within a half hour you get a TON of candy and most employees let you choose what kinds of candy and let you take handfuls.

Ryan has a coworker that REALLY gets into Halloween decor, so here was one of the scary cubicle walls the girls took pictures by. 

The loot from dad's work. 

And I went out with the girls and their buddies this year. It was a fun time and they even got tons more candy. It was crazy. that purple hair made me smile. 

 

This doesn't do justice but this was a TON of candy!

Halloween morning and parade

So the day of Halloween, Adeline decided she no longer wanted the braid, just purple hair down. 

So I did my best at trying to make it look normal ha ha and put about ten zillion bobby pins in it. 

She definitely was a very cute Rumi.

She loves this pose as Rumi apparently. 

Evelyn also wanted to go as someone from k-pop demon hunters, but there was no way we could find a costume in her size or even get it close to Halloween delivery, so after a little drama, she found something we already had and became a dead queen. She did her own make-up which I think was her favorite part. 

Dead queen and Rumi.

their friend Ondine went as Elphaba.

And the classic Halloween elementary parade. 

Rumi was definitely popular. There were at least 20 girls as Rumi. And several other demon hunter characters. 

But NONE had the purple hair down so that was a unique thing to Adeline.

Since Evelyn is in student council, she helped hold up a sign for one of the grades. 

She was a little tricky to see her full on costume, but she enjoyed holding the sign she said afterwards. 

Our day of the dead ofrenda offering.
