Alice in Wonderland

Sailor's school offered auditions back at the beginning of the year for a play they were planning on performing. It was offered for 4th and 5th grade students only and although it required quite a bit of after school rehearsal, it would be finished just in time for softball season to start. And being the social child that she is, of course Sailor wanted to try out.

In order to prevent one child from having to memorize an entire play, there were a total of 5 Alice's.

 

We weren't allowed to take photos the night of the actual performance so these are all from their dress rehearsal.

   This was following her first actual performance. She did such a great job and we couldn't be more proud.

 

4th grade opera field trip

Each year the 4th grade at West Navarre Intermediate have a field trip to Pensacola to watch an opera performance. It seems like yesterday that Tucker went and here we are again for Sailor's turn. The teachers request that the girls wear dresses and the boys wear ties. Now, for those that know Sailor, it's a pretty big deal to get her in a dressy dress and something other than flip flops or cleats. I know I'm a little partial, but she looked beautiful!

 For the little girl with completely straight hair, these curls were a big deal.

 

Duck Down

So I pretty much gave up on trying to catch up on everything that has happened in our lives since I'm so far behind, but I felt this was a pretty significant event and wanted to be sure and share it. Back in January, Tucker got to go on his first duck hunt. He wasn't entirely sure what to think about it before he left, but he came home ecstatic, he got his first duck ever! It happened to be the only duck killed that day, but Hank and his friend Dale, made sure Tucker got the opportunity for his first kill. I'm not sure who was more proud, Tucker or Hank. Tucker's duck is currently at the taxidermist waiting to be stuffed. I can't say I'm excited about that, but Tucker sure is proud.
