Clairana - Drama - The Matchmaker

 Clairana was part of the homeschool drama troupe again this year - she was an emotional and scared waiter. She had a great time and enjoyed all the social time with friends. Lots of friends and family came to the show which made it extra special. 

 After the last show they all go out to eat to celebrate - Coraline even tagged along for the late late adventure!

 Aunt Woody and Connie came to see the play!

Newfields Nature and the Arts Museum

 Co-op Field Trip! 

Aunt Woody tagged along with us to the Newfields Museum - the weather wasn't super lovely for the garden tours but we had a great time. We had a private tour at the beginning and then spent the rest of the time on our own exploring. 

 Clairana took this of Lotte wrestling a buddy.

 House located in the gardens. 

 One exhibit had an amazing technology ceiling - we spent lots of time in here watching it change.

 Rembrandt!

 Perfect Painting especially being so close to Easter - they had some amazing pieces but unfortunately were hidden in the very back and the more modern pieces were more so highlighted in the main galleries. Some of our co-op families never even made it to see these beautiful pieces. 

Time with Aunt Woody!

 Dress Up Time

Glass Pieces

I told Clairana we found her prom dress!

 Crazy technology that made these photos come to life. Scared us at first!

 Looking at the crazy modern art while on the tour. 

 

Pinewood Derby

Cabella and Cecily participated in the Pinewood Derby! Unfortunately, when the day of the race came Cecily had a fever. Cabella took her car anyways and she ended up with 1st and 2nd place!

Wrestling!

 We tried something new! Nephi tried out wrestling! We have been trying to find an option for Nephi to wrestle and after looking for a couple years a private opportunity just fell in our laps. Levi actually was having a casual conversation at work and ended up talking to a man who runs a private wrestling facility and used to wrestle for Purdue. It was perfect! 

I see us doing this for several more seasons. He does have loads of cheerleaders that come to his events and wait FOREVER. 

 

Magnet

Youth Theme - Walk With Me

Clairana's Creation

 Each year our ward picks a theme and the talks in Sacrament go along with the theme. 

This year we are studying the Old Testament as a whole church. Clairana actually created a drawing that we turned into a magnet for the yearly theme. 

Our Youth Theme this year is Walk With Me. 

Choir Concert

 Clairana, Coraline, and Cabella all did choir this year with the Tippecanoe Youth Choir. 

This year they performed American and patriotic music in honor of our country's 250th Anniversary.

I only took one photo after I searched everywhere for the teenagers and FINALLY found them after the show.

Kittens

 Our last remaining mama cat on the farm had her kittens. Cottonwood. She had five kittens.
