Petting Zoo

Gavin and I got up early to check out the petting zoo they set up at Brilliant Sky toy store. They had lots of different animals. Gavin loved picking up the little chickens and hens. I thought the llama was pretty cool.

First Friday Phoenix

This evening we went to First Friday in Phoenix to watch Kyle do some street theatre. First Friday is a self-guided art walk. They have lots of local artists showing and selling their artwork. Kyle is taking a community based arts class and for their final they performed on the street for anyone who happened to be walking by. They did a number of scenes the class had created about Arizona and water. Fun to watch Kyle be pretty silly. Glad it was him and not me though.

I learned a lot doing this. It was interesting to see what the crowd would gather for and what they would walk away from.

It was good. I liked the scene with guy digging. That one was funny.

Bed Making

The making of the bed has become quite the area of self-expression for Gavin. And the creation of the day is...

He cracks me up.

It's fun making up new ideas about how to make my bed.

Daddy's Show

Tonight we had a family evening of dinner and theatre. We ate at a fabulous restaurant near ASU called "Sucker Punch Sally's". Gavin had macaroni and cheese and Kyle and I had Navajo tacos. They had the most amazing key lime pie.

After dinner we saw "And What She Found There". This is the play Kyle created and directed with his graduate cohort. I enjoyed it very much. Significantly better than the project last year. Kyle is such a creative and skilled director. He really made a very mediocre script extremely intriguing and interesting to watch. And I love him the most even though he didn't come home from the cast party until 3:00am.
C-

I didn't like the play very much at all. (Kyle won't write anything else right now because he is in the middle of writing a paper about Caravaggio. If he could add to this he would say he loves his wife dearly and will never again stay at a cast party until three in the morning.)

I thought daddy's play was funny. I loved it. I liked the character of the old woman because she made me laugh in my head. The macaroni and cheese was so good it made my head explode.

Children's Museum

Today we got to go to the Children's Museum with Uncle Jerry. Gavin had a great time but was sad Uncle Kirt couldn't join us. Uncle Kirt and Uncle Jerry gave Gavin a year pass to the Science Center in Arizona for his sixth birthday and it is also good at the Salt Lake Museum. It has been a great gift!

Easter

Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny left lots of surprises. Even a special message for Gavin. We all got lovely Easter baskets and the Easter Bunny picked up a skateboard from Grandma's house and hid it in the apartment especially for Gavin. Lots of eggs were hidden as well and none were in plain sight, but Gavin found them all!

New skateboard!

I love the skateboard. I think the skull is pretty cool.
