Both kids were in Newsies at 4th Church, so it seemed only right that when the show came to Boston we had to see it. Â It turns out our seats were for opening night and in the second and third rows! It was such an awesome show and everyone enjoyed it!
We love that the kids participate in activities at 4th Church. The one downside is the week each session when everything comes to an end!
Brendan’s show was Cabaret: An evening in Black and White (with pink hair from the Pride Parade)
Aidan had the piano concert
Brendan went to the recording studio again (and Aidan got to help the tech guy)
Brendan also performed at the dance party and Aidan’s movie class premiered the movie.
And swim team had their end of the year party!! Â We are officially ready for summer!!!
Anyone who knows me, knows camping and the great outdoors is not something I would sign up for enthusiastically. However, when Erin told me about the Capital Campout at Castle Island- the first time anyone would be camping at the fort- it was hard to say no. And we all had a great time!
We arrived on Friday and the tents were set up. All the equipment was ready for us. We made a family flag, we played “old fashioned” games, heard stories from the Tea Party actors and we got to know the other families- other 4th graders. Governor Baker came to kick off outdoors month and told the kids stories and make s’mores. Brendan shared that I didn’t vote for him. (of course)
We toured the fort as the sunset, listened to the story teller and the kids loved playing flashlight tag and manhunt win the dark.
On Saturday we woke up to a downpour! The rain stopped and the kids participated in fishing, yoga, learning to read a compass and more fun games.
It was fun to spend time with the kids and their friends doing something new. They want to try it again! (But Sully’s probably won’t be an option)
