Loads of fun this weekend. Lots to share.
On Friday evening, Mandy and I took Kip to his first ever live musical experience. There is a brand new theater company in our town and they had their first show this past weekend. It was Seussical, the Musical! When Mandy and I were seniors in high school they did this show at our school and we saw it twice and really enjoyed it and subsequently bought the official CD and memorized all the songs. We loved it. When I saw the local theater was doing this show, we both wanted to see it and bring Kip too. He, of course, put-up a fuss about going (as he does with anything new) but we convinced him and he turned around with some excitement. Fortunately, the kids had just binge-watched Horton Hears a Who multiple times so he was familiar with most parts of the story.
We ended up leaving at intermission because it was 9 pm and Kip was tired but we loved what we saw and Kip stayed engaged the whole time. I'm excited for other shows and maybe, maybe one of the kids will want to get involved in the company.
On Saturday, Dan and I took the kids for a bike ride. Ivy loved riding in the trailer solo and Kip kept a great pace on his bike. It was a beautiful sunny day with low humidity. Perfect bike weather.
In the afternoon we met-up with one of Kip's classmates and his family for some splash pad fun. The kids had a blast.
Sunday we had church in the morning and then Mandy packed us lunch and we went to the pool. Another beautiful sunny day and we didn't get rained out for once.
Early evening, Dan and I took Kip to Chuck-E-Cheese for a classmate's birthday party. This was the first time Kip had been to Chuck-E-Cheese. HE LOVED IT. No surprise. Endless race games? Yes, sir. He had a blast and never even noticed he was the only boy at the party.
And yes, Kip in a bow tie is his chosen signature look.
