Visit to Colorado's State Capital with a bunch of 5th Graders!!!! : )

I had the opportunity to visit our state's capital on a field trip with Parker's class. I've never been to the capital and found it to be a very interesting place. Our tour guide was an awesome lady who shared many tidbits of information with us. I don't know about all those 5th graders but I sure learned a lot. I have a better appreciation for our legislation...I may not agree with everything they do but....history will tell! The day was rainy, sleeting snow, to snow to rain again! Brrrrr!!!! We also visited the Colorado Mint...another informative place to see...we were not allowed to take pictures or take any bags into the mint and I found out why....you see Colorado is one of the host of 1/3 of the nations gold!!!! They wouldn't tell us were it was kept...can you believe the nerve of our guide?

The Week of Call Performers

Last weekend Tyler and Nick were involved in a Dinner Theater. They both shined on stage and it was so fun to be apart of this time in their lives. Tyler's play was a funny, serious story line. His part varied from the student of the future, Mr. Walt Disney, child from the sound of Music, Star Wars fan and victim of the Oklahoma City bombing. My favorite line of his from the play was...."duh, it's called money"! Nick played the part of Fred Blatterman....an old man who had a very big problem with his "bladder"! He stole the show....we laughed and laughed at him. He didn't have very many lines ... his was all about his facial expressions and body postures. My favorite line of his was "oh...you have to go too?" after another cast member answered a question with "Oui, Oui!) and then he shuffels off the stage as fast as his little steps would take him! Both casts did a fantastic job and it was a wonderful evening!


Parker and Cassie both performed this week also. They were in their music concert at school. Once again Miss. Chengery did a fabulous job with these kiddos! The songs were lively and fun. You can tell the kids just love to sing and love their teacher. We always look forward to these concerts...they are not the typical elementary concerts. Miss. Jen was involved with "Up With People" so she includes dances, solos and hand/arm motions! They are fantizimo!!!! : )
