What Was I Thinking?

A Clue date, bubble braids, Collin haircut, and more random pics

For Christmas again, my parents gave us tickets to a Hale Center Theatre show so we chose Clue this time. We have never really done the photo opp places before, but this time we did.

It was a great show, similar to the movie, but also different. I laughed a lot, especially in the end parts.

I attempted to remember bubble braids for the girls. I thought they turned out pretty good!

Collin got a haircut.

We went and turned in our county rec passes for the summer. SO SO excited for this! And Adleline wanted to take a picture on the rock while the lady entered our info.

And I actually had to change into a short sleeve shirt to work outside since it was almost 80! I hadn't seen my arms in SO long ha ha.

Collin's new bow tie.

And when we had breakfast for dinner, Evelyn was a GREAT help. She designed the fruit plate. I told her she did a great job!

Saturday Adventure April 13 Utah Symphony Family Series!

For a couple of years now, with the PBS reading program, my kids have gotten a free ticket to the Utah Symphony family series, but by the time I figured out what it was about, the tickets were always sold out. This year I planned better ahead and we got some for the space adventure. Here the kids are walking from city creek parking to Abravenal Hall.

Yeah! A whole family picture. There were SO SO many people and families there.

The girls liked the Clark Planetarium tables where you could build your own space devices from cardboard.

The finished products!

Our seats were on the top balcony in the little row on the side. Kind of fun that we were all sitting in front of each other.

Cute Ryan and Adeline.

The symphony was great. They played some fun space music, including a last song of Star Wars theme. It was a good introduction to see if our kids could handle something more. Evelyn struggled the most, and Adeline liked it the most. The conductor was SO fun to watch. He was dancing around all over.

Proof I was there :)

After we decided to walk through city creek instead of around the block and stopped for a few minutes at the fountain.

And it was a fun little Saturday adventure that we hadn't done before!

Adeline's birthday and turning 7!

Adeline turned 7 last week. She requested crepes with whipped cream and berries for her birthday breakfast. They were so yummy!

Everyone was a fan and she especially loved them. It's a simple tradition for our family, but it makes it fun for the birthday person, especially if it's a school day and extra special breakfast.

First hug from 7-year-old Adeline!

Sister Mismash gave her this balloon and treat for her birthday.

After the girls went to art class, we brought Arctic Circle (Adeline's choice) to the park by there and ate and opened presents. She said it was amazing! I love simple birthdays :)

Grandma and Grandpa came down which made it extra fun!

Doing the zip line.

Opening presents.

Grandma and grandpa gave her a book light. She was SO excited. Ever since Evelyn has had hers, Adeline has wanted one. I love her facial expressions while opening it.
