First time rock climbing, The Nutcracker hip-hop style + reliving Hawaii
- First ever trip to the rock climbing gym yesterday for a birthday party, and what fun the kids had! Zo carefully climbed up and down and was so persistent and thoughtful and brave. Luke sprinted to the top of climb after climb and belayed down. And the bouldering...I know in the picture Luke looks soooooo high...but the people supervising said the mats were so thick even a fall from that height the kids would be fine. We're going again tomorrow with a friend for a class, can't wait...
- The Nutcracker with Luke this weekend (because he is the kid who said he wanted to go)...I had low expectations of a small-town dance studio production but they did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job. They even mixed hip-hop in and it totally worked. Luke was on the edge of his seat the whole night. We got tickets from work friends of Jeff's and they had a daughter in the show who was one of the leads...her father teared up and was wiping his eyes the whole time she was onstage he was so proud of her...it was the sweetest...
- Big new stack of library books from the library today...
- Played dolls with Zo this afternoon...for whatever reason playing like that (just imagining things, no structure) is the hardest thing for me to do with my kids...but we had a really good time transporting the dolls and pets to the big island of Hawaii and driving to visit the volcano...
- Talked with my mom and briefly with my dad today...always makes my day...can't wait to have them up for Christmas!!
Happy Monday!
