This morning Emily & I enjoyed another fun mother/daughter outing to a Lollipop Concert put on by the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony in the lobby of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center at the University of Northern Iowa. These are free concerts geared towards kids ages 4-10. Today's feature was the percussion ensemble. After listening to several selections using a wide variety of instruments--including one just with clapping hands--the kids got to enjoy an instrument "petting zoo". Emily was quite wiggly throughout the concert part because she was so excited to get to blow a trumpet afterwards. She actually managed to get some sounds out! She also tried a violin and a variety of percussion instruments.
It has been really fun to do these little outings the last few weeks. It's something I've dreamed about doing even before actually having kids. Emily is now at an age and maturity level where the doors are opening to a wide world of possibilities. I'm so thankful to have so many opportunities available where we live. I look forward to discovering and experiencing more fun things together in the future!
