Evie explores the zoo via art camp!

This week Evie has been getting her hands dirty (literally) at art camp, where the theme has been all about animals in the zoo! Here she adds some green "leaves" on the tree mural that was used as the backdrop for their performance on Friday. She came home with many, many masterpieces to add to our art gallery.

The week culminated in a performance to the families on Friday - here is a sneak peek of their rehearsal. Each day they focused on a different part of the world and the animals that lived there. I can't tell what she is trying to be here, though...

Then the big day came! Evie is not a big fan of getting her face painted so she got a turtle on her hand instead. She also seems a little nervous as she was biting her fingernails a little, despite being "so excited!" as she called out to Mommy.

Evie gets ready to start. She was the youngest kid in the class but held her own. One of the funniest moments seemed to be when she loudly protested when another child got too wild with waving his arms to stop hitting her. It was pretty funny.



In the play, the kids were zookeepers who traveled around the world to find animals to bring back to their zoo. Evie paid attention for the most part and could act like most of the animals. On their stop in Africa, they had an obligatory dance to the "Circle of Life".


Evie wobbles like a penguin at their stop in Antarctica.



I'm not quite sure if Evie's exaggerated yawns were supposed to be another animal or if she was expressing boredom... but she seemed to love jumping like a kangaroo!
