Fly Performance & Ammon’s School Project

Today we got a babysitter for Clarissa and the rest of the gang went downtown to see a performance by the Utah symphony orchestra and the dance company “fly”. They are a group that does street dancing to classical music. The combination was amazing, and one of our favorite scenes was when the dancers were pretending to be swans as they glided across the stage on a skateboard.

Afterwards, we went to City Creek mall and ate at Blue Lemon, got chocolate at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company and went back to our car. En route, Ammon enjoyed the fountain.

At home, Ammon and I worked on his science fair project. Lydia, Mary and Lily were at a play with Amy, Emerson and Isabel. I first took Ammon and Clarissa on an outing to get supplies, and then we worked on the project. Ammon really did a lot including the writing, gluing, cutting, using the hot glue gun etc. It was a lot of fun, and Clarissa also helped glue at one point. Ammon and Clarissa were happy about the glow-in-the-dark and glitter glue they got at Office Depot.

Here are two videos of the boat we made to show how paddle boats work. Ammon and Clarissa were extremely excited about it.

I then went on a long run, and fed and put the kids down while Lily went to Salt Lake with our friend Lauren to attend the book reading of another good friend of ours Kathryn Sonntag.

I came upstairs around midnight and found Clarissa had left her bed and found a very interesting position in the couch to settle into. I got a kick out of it, lol.
