Evening of the Arts!

The theme for this years Evening of the Arts was "Make a Change"

Gentry came up with her project all by herself. She gathered items that we were throwing away and also picked up litter around Ivins on some of our family walks. Then she decided she wanted to make a rocket with all her "garbage. " So we named it "Make a Change and reach for the stars."

It turned out so cute. All I did was help her cut the pieces out and hot glue them on.

Sadie is a darling story teller, so she knew right away that she wanted to write a story. She wrote a story about two cousins that saved a Sea Turtle from some hunters. She did such a great job. It was a fun story.  She also drew the picture for her cover.

I got a call that day that Gentry had one an award for her entry, but we had no idea what she won.  We didn't tell Gentry that she won, we just went that night.  She was so surprised to here her name be called for...1st Place.  She ran right up to the stage and get her trophy.

Sadie's story didn't win that night, but she was so happy for Gentry. She is such a sweetheart.  But every child received an award just for entering . They each came away with ribbons, gift card to Golden Corral, and a free ice cream cone from Dairy Queen. Good job girls, so proud of you both.

After the awards night we went to Iceberg with my whole family to celebrate my dad's birthday. (We do this with each person's birthday) We were one of the first ones there so the girls entertained themselves by dancing on the tables.
