On this extremely cold, snowy day, we braved the elements many times to have a fun-filled day! After a delicious breakfast at the Brandy Wine, Faith and Grandma and I went to a special concert. The Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra puts on concerts specially designed for kids ages 4-7 called Lollipops. And the show today combined two of Faith's favorite things - music and ballet! The concert included the music of Peter and the Wolf, a narrator telling the story, and dancers from the G.R. Ballet company portraying the story. Faith absolutely loved it!! It was enjoyable to watch the twinkle in her eyes as she watched and heard the story unfold before her. The entire concert was extremely well done as the conductor also introduced all the families in the orchestra and the instruments in those families. And all in the perfect, age appropriate time of 45 minutes!
In an effort to maintain well-rounded children, we took the kids to the Calvin basketball game in the afternoon. Once again they both enjoyed watching some basketball and were excited to see a Calvin victory! Remembering that clapping follows a made basket, Shane thought it was important to clap for each made basket in even the warm-ups!
Our day was caped off with going out for dinner. As mentioned earlier, it was very cold today! According to the weather on the news, it was the coldest two days in Grand Rapids in over two years! Shane especially does not enjoy the cold, and after experiencing the brisk wind while being carried to the car from Calvin's arena , he refused to take off his hat or winter jacket at the restaurant!
