I am all about free events. Especially free, kid-friendly, events. Even better-free, kid-friendly and arts and crafts events! Recently, the girls and I went to a children's orchestra at Northwestern College. It was so fun. Before hand, the girls were given the opportunity to walk through an instrument "petting zoo." They were able to touch and feel most instruments. They even got to try a few out.
Next on the itinerary: craft time. The girls made masks of characters from Peter and the Wolf.
Lastly, we sat and listened to some beautiful music. The student conductor explained things so well to the kid dominate audience. He even allowed them all to stand up and conduct the orchestra through a song. This was McKenna's favorite part. (Didn't surprise me!)
