This school year we've made an effort to get out and about for some "culture", and I think we're doing well with that goal! In the fall we went to see a fun show through the Junior Theater called "The Ugly Duckling". It involved black lights and big costumes that glowed.
At Christmas time one of our local theater groups produced The Christmas Carol. (Above picture, on the way back to the car - I thought the trees were awfully pretty that day with all their snow.)
This past week the kids went to a "experential theater experience" revolving around an African folk tale. Although they didn't have much in the way of insightful musings to share I think they had a good time!
The kids have also been enjoying some arts experiences with their father. Last week they all went to see The Piano Guys. Earlier this year the boys went, for the 2nd year, to the Silent Film Feature put on by the Symphony. Add in some Garrison Keillor and symphony performances and I'd say we keep busy enough. On the "fun arts" side the kids saw a cool circus group at Christmas time with Grandma Karen and also enjoyed another trip to the Nutcracker. Next week they're going to check out The Addams Family with Grandma Karen.
Sometimes it seems like we don't do much but when I look backwards and recap I always realize there's at least a bit more going on than I had thought!
