One of the many things we love about going to a University Model School are the opportunities our kiddos wouldn't have without it. The school musical is definitly one of those. I have been happy for them not to have parts yet, although it has been discussed, so we may be in for a lot more practices someday...for now I have enjoyed the minimal practices and an awesome show.
They loved the songs from this musical (Danny and The Shacks) even better than the last and we listened to them every chance we had in the car. Lorelei also added "fire dancer" to her list of jobs and loved getting to do this during one of the songs with the other girls in her class.
(Disclaimer...I showed up to the dress rehearsal this year with my nice camera to take pictures for yearbook. Also the perfect chance to get shots of my own kiddos without those other silly parents in the way. ;) I think I'll try and do this every year if allowed! Wouldn't have many good shots from the actual performance!)
It is VERY difficult to get a good fire dance shot, so you get half her face. ;)
"Israelites! Israelites! Punch two-three-four, run two-three-four, HUGH!"

For those who want to see some snippets from the performances Brad put them together...
Golf Scramble
Most of you know Brad is an idea man. Well, he mentioned a while ago that he would love to organize a school golf scramble. Although I was a little concerned it would be a lot for him to juggle, I knew he would just have to learn that the hard way. (And he did!) After doing some calling around he found the ideal location, got the school board's approval, and got busy organizing. He did do an amazing job, almost entirely on his own. We hope that next year he has a few more helpers. :) He got many compliments, and the staff and participants were pretty excited about the prizes he got donated. Proud of that guy for working so hard for his school community. We heard encouragement from one of the dads who played in the tournament even though he had not golfed in years but signed up and had fun..."Thanks so much for setting up the tournament. Best GCA event ever."
Oh and of course, we cannot forget our two kiddos.
Makin has just been ecstatic to get more golf in and he was thrilled to be on his dad's team for his first-ever golf scramble. He was the youngest participant this year, with the only other youth golfers being two 7th graders. He won "youth long putt" (Brad said it was about a 6 foot putt. Makin jumped up and down when he made it and then danced all the way back to the golf cart.) and was elated to win the prize of an automatic putting system. Their team won second place overall, and Makin contributed to his team with them using one chip and about eight of his putts. He did have the best drive of his life, which he was excited about as well.
While Lorelei doesn't have the boy's enthusiasm for golf (yet...?) she has her dad's entrepreneurial spirit. She decided this tournament was the perfect opportunity to have her first bake sale. (All profits going to the school of course.) It was a smashing success!
Loaded up with prizes and supplies for the scramble.
Sooooo glad to get it out of our house!
Their bake sale ran from 11 AM- 7 PM and they were quite proud of their sales.
Mrs. White lives in this neighborhood and was sweet enough to stop by and get some goodies.
Charlie rode along with the boys for the front nine.
Bakes sale stop at hole #10 and thrilled Dad bought him brownies. :)
