Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

It's that time of year again, time for our city's annual children's theater. This is an amazing adventure! Two weeks of craziness! This year Katie, Maddie and Bevan were all in it so it seemed even crazier than normal. But the kids love it! And I love that they get to have such fun experiences. This year it was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Maddie was "Flying Time"

Katie was part of the royalty with the Queen of Hearts. She even got to play croquet with flamingos.

Do you play croquet?

Bevan as an oyster with Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum. His face is white because he's suppose to be a pearl. :)

Our stars!

On the stage.

This Is The Place!

Every year the 4th graders (throughout most of Utah- I think) do a Utah program. It is one of my very favorite reasons to go to school! They spend the year learning fun songs and actions that teach them the history of Utah. Then the parents and some of the school get to go watch them perform. It is so fun! And always gets me choked up, I love this state of ours!

Maddie is there in the blue bonnet. They were to dress up like pioneers, native Americans, Mountain Men or wear Utah State attire. Maddie chose a pioneer and she got to wear her Great-grandma Jones' bonnet and apron.

Waiting to say her part.

Saying her part. "Because they were industrious they soon became the manufacturing and agricultural center of the west." Pretty big words for a 10 year old.

 Receiving her Great Utahn Award. This award was a lot of work! She had to read 29 books- from different genres, all at least 100 pages, memorize location and write in cursive 29 counties, 29 rocks & minerals, 29 land marks and do 29 math timings. Maddie worked hard for this! I'm so proud of her!

Everyone in Maddie's class who earned Great Utahn Award.
