Program after Program

We have been very busy at the library lately. They a Spring Music Series were various cultural groups come and play for free. This is the 'Alexandria Kleztet' which is an European and Jewish group. They tied there music in with Jazz and the Blues from when the Jews came to America. It was awesome, fun, toe tapping music, we plan on getting their CD.

Before we start the next few pictures I wanted to mention another group we went to see which was the Parkview High School Multi-Cultural Group. They were fantastic and played some fun music and one kid kept giving one the other ladies a hard time by joining her at random and holding notes or doing something different with the music just to see if she could keep up. He was definitely the class clown. But this same kid gave the boys a maraca so they could play along and on the last song invited us to go and sit with the band and play because they thought the boys were so good (and cute I'm sure). But natural I let the battery die on the camera so we have no pictures of this one...

These are pictures of a play/puppet show called 'Creatures Great and Small', this was pretty cute for a puppet show I must say. They really knew how to get the crowd involved and how to get stubborn boys like Roan who don't know what the H--- is going on to smile and laugh along. So anyway, the first 2 pictures are there original reactions to the puppet show, as you can see Ash is all for it, but Roan is NOT quite sure what is going on...

They sang several songs and had everyone get up and learn dances with them and to my great surprise the boys went along with it.

Now Roan is getting into the swings of things and enjoying himself...

Ash laughed non-stop...

Here is one story they did, that of course is a classic with their own little flare and the boys loved it and laughed till their sides ached!

And of course nothing is as cool as an Electric Eel who can teach you how to dance or a Cayman who will let you pet him after the show if your Dad is brave enough to go behind the curtains and cox him out of hiding!

The last thing we did was take Ash to a class at the library called 'Geology Rocks', he had a lot of fun and learned a ton of new things about the rock cycle and the difference between a rock and a mineral. Here he is making his very own Sedimentary rock from play dough, dirt and leaves.

I hope you were able to keep up because I sure haven't...
