And then here is Wil and Kristen standing in line before the rides even opened because they wanted to be the first ones on the rides. All three rode rides from 10 am until 9 pm (with a short break for Nathaniel's birthday party :-) Mom and Dad worked the prize redemption for 2+ hours, crazy!
On Friday Kate had her poetry tea at school. Here she is reading from her book of original poetry.
And here is her class doing a choral recital of a poem they memorized.
They worked with a local writer who came to her class and read poems to them and talked about what inspired him to write poetry. He signed copies of his book for the kids during the performance. Kate did a GREAT job and we were very impressed with her poise during her reading of her poems, she did a great job in front of an audience, we are very proud of her!
Kristen and I had our "date" night. We went out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, where after hearing the specials of lamb and rabbit she declared she was going to be a vegetarian! Then we went to the symphony. It was a great night! The lead violinist is a parent of one of my students and she took the time to talk to the kids during intermission. Kristen was very impressed (and looked very grown up, she is the one in the green dress)
