Seussical the Musical

FIELD TRIP!!!
The other day I went with the 3rd graders to the lovely.....Seussical the Musical! The children were well behavied and we only had a couple kiddos fall asleep. I couldn't figure out how in the heck they could fall asleep with the rather annoying and loud music blasting in the background but hey, at least the children were quiet, right?

This was my second time seeing Seussical. I think two times will be enough for the next fifty years or so. I would have to say that Dr. Seuss is a genius but the play just doesn't do him justice! Horton Hears a Who is a wonderful book but the musical.....yikes.

The nice (or not nice) thing about children is they will always tell you what they think. (we had one today say, "Oh! I know what wrinkles are... Mrs. So and so has them all over her face, right?) Anyway, the children thought the play itself was "lame" or "okay." They were glad to get out of the school and go on a field trip and I was too :)

Road Trip: Midland, TX

We went to Midland to visit our fam Jeff, Heather, Parker, and the new addition Addison. We had a good time seeing the other end of Texas where the wind mills turn and the oil rigs pump. We went to the temple while we were there. That's 15 different temples visited and 290ish to go. Maybe someday when we're 80, we can say that we've been to them all.

We had a good time meeting Addison, seeing the new homestead, and visiting with the Tews! Thanks J&H!
