ZOOPHORIA

Last week we went to a library program called "Zoophoria."

It is basically a one-woman show with her menagerie of creatures.

She brought 5 or 6 of them with her that day.

I did not get pictuers of them all, but it was fun.

She was so into it and that translates to the audience.

Milly the millipede

Noodles the constrictor

This guy wasn't too sure about it, but was brave.

(I passed)

There was also a cane toad named Cheeseburger, a zombie crab named Zumba, and a baby alligator. I forget it's name.

Did you know it is illegal to have a pet alligator in NJ?

But interestingly enough--it IS legal in Pennsylvania!!

What?  Why? 

So many questions.

Anyway, we had a nice time and the boys absolutely loved it.

She does birthday parties and events if anyone is interested.

 

WEAPON OF CHOICE

 More competition pictures.

The studio allowed me to use these.

Again, many congrats dancers!

SIGHT AND SOUND

 

This past Friday, we took a trip out to Sight and Sound to see Joshua with our TLC co-op.

We met up for brunch with a young man who attends church with us.

We had decent seats..divided between 2 rows..

It was a spectacular show.

Our 3 year old was especially impressed when "the walls came a'tumbling down."

They have quite a ministry there.

Every show it worth watching.

Here are a few from our group that went..plus one of the actors who is a former TLC graduate!  Pretty cool that he met with us for a few minutes between shows.

Bean and I are headed back out there in two weeks for her audition to the Conservatory.

Please keep that in prayer.

COMPETITION

 

Bean and her team competed a couple of weeks ago at the SOAR competition.

We had basketball games, but the boys and I were able to make it in time to watch their dance and the awards ceremony following.  They won 1st place, Ruby in small group senior tap.

They danced to the song "Weapon of Choice."  Bean also had a short solo at the end of the piece.

The studio has some fantastic pictures that I shared on facebook, but I will ask before posting on here.

If you've never been to a dance competition before--its no joke!  It is an all day (or weekend) event with hundreds of dancers, costume changes etc.  

Congrats ladies on a job well done!!

WINTER FORMAL 26

 This year's winter formal was at the end of February and once again at David's Country Inn.

It's nice to have drivers to transport themselves (next driver to be added very, very soon!!)

It was a nice time!

Prom in a few months.

ON THE ICE

Earlier this month we went ice skating--

for the most of the boys this was only their 2nd time EVER.

We went with co-op and there was a pretty good turnout.

This kid.

Had a complete meltdown over how he couldn't do it..

..20 minutes later he was zipping around the ice..fell a few times, but really!

I personally have not been on skates in a really long time!

How about you?

 

REALITY APOLOGETICS CONFERENCE

 Apologetics: noun

"reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine."

This past weekend, a couple of the kids had an opportunity to attend the Reality Apologetics Conference with Dad and their TLC Apologetics class.  It was an overnight trip and though the hotel accomodations left a lot to be desired, the conference had a lot of valuable information.

Huge venue was packed

We had about 22 attendees

One of the workshops

One of these in particular wants to attend again next year!

I'm grateful to those who organized and set up this opportunity and pray that seeds of the Gospel were planted in abundance.
