The kids have been absorbed in playing the board games their Uncle C gave them for Christmas. I love walking into a quiet room, seeing them recalling rules and strategizing moves (or making up stories and using the game pieces as the characters and scenery . . . I used to do this CONSTANTLY when I was younger . . . I had elaborate notebook entries detailing the lives of each car full of pink and blue pegs in the game of LIFE--I could play 6 cars at once, all by myself, ha!)
We did take in a performance at the theater in our state's capitol city. Giant puppetry, which is cool to watch (but a little slow moving in the storyline :)
Nevertheless, the kids got some culture, it was a nice school trip, and then we met their dad at a state sports & achievement museum. That was cool because we were the ONLY ones there for the two or more hours we wandered through. They have green screen games, and you can record your voice as a radio announcer, lots of touch-screen technology. Good learning opportunity disguised as fun :) And when you cap it off with a trip to the Olive Garden for dinner, well yumm! And what a day!
Another fun visit was to see my little brothers play basketball . . . I got to hold little bitty most of the day, which is straight up wonderful! Thus, I have no pictures of the boys playing basketball, but the girls took their Christmas cameras (which we have yet to upload pictures from, they must have some astounding memory cards inside! :) but I do have one of my little niece bundled in pink :)
