The Pirates of Penzence

2009-05-04T23:22:00.008-03:00

It was hilarious.
It was genius.
It was piratey.....

Good show.
I loved it.
=]

These are just a few of the children that sang for us at intermission, the call themselves "The pirates who don't do anything"

Keith Nisbett directed the 10 piece orchestra, which almost stole the show. Yes, they were that good.

The Nisbett family, who started Fine Linen Drama, and who direct and administrate the whole of it, they have pictures Here and Here and Here and Here and Here.

=]

A few notes, and more to come.

2009-05-01T00:01:00.006-03:00

I had the awesome opportunity of driving to Missouri with my two sisters, Keturah and Naomi, and spending the weekend with my grandparents. We went to see the Pirates of Penzance, a Fine Linen Production along with Rachel and Tom, and saw our amazingly talented friends perform on stage. This musical was hilarious to watch and I had an blast that evening watching everyone act out their role in the play. Good job everyone!

I did take a few pictures of the show, and I shall post them later, but for now; check out this nest I saw while staying at my grandparents house. It's just another clue that Sping/Summer weather is here. Despite the cold, rainy weather we are receiving at the moment.

A blue bird nest, that is my guess.
Blue eggs = blue birds.

It feels like summer.

And it is nice to have a park less than a mile away.

To Fly A Kite (you have to stay far from trees)

A few pictures I had taken from when Hosanna and Caleb were here with us. We had gone to a State Park.

Seth's Basketball

2009-04-11T16:58:00.004-03:00

Seth played on a basketball team for a short season. Here are some pictures from that time.

Video from Christmas.

2009-01-11T18:21:00.004-04:00

So, as always, I have taken FOREVER to get anything up. (Hey. . . I'm trying you know!!) I had some misc video clips taken at Christmas that I put together. So here it is, and that way you all can have something more interesting to look at than my boring pictures. haha

Personally, I think this video is hilarious. But that may just be because I'm apart of this family. . . . check it out anyway.

=]

Did you notice that I have more footage of the kids than the adults? That's because everyone was in pj's and told me not to show anything of them. haha
And I tried! But hey, it was impossible to cut everything out.

Christmas Concert in Martinsville.

2008-12-24T14:39:00.005-04:00

The band and choir Christmas concert went well. We break over the next few weeks for the holidays. Starting in January again preparing for the Louisville, KY competition in March.

To close the program, both the Elementary and High school Choir sang a song together.

Arts Garden Choir Performance

2008-12-24T13:41:00.005-04:00

The down-town Indianapolis mall has an annual "Mistletoe Music Festival". Bands and choirs can come and play in a certain time slot. Both the band and choir that we are involved in performed. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures from the band performance.
As you can see by the pictures, it really is a nice place. Since it's more or less a bridge over the road it provides a nice view.

It was also a nice snowy day. :)

Thanksgiving at Grandma Tice's house.

2008-12-23T22:41:00.001-04:00

I kept meaning to post some pictures from the Thanksgiving at Grandma Tices' house. And I wanted them on BEFORE Christmas. :0

Here they are:

The kids were building paper airplanes and throwing them through the fire. It was pretty cool, the airplanes would get close to the fire, and then the hot air would hit then out and away.

Games, games, games. Inside and outside.

The annual bonfire is one of the many traditions for the Tice Thanksgiving. This year we had three such fires, and they were ginormous. We had to stand really far back in order to not get burned. :) Amazing, huh?

We created a bunch of fire silhouettes, here are a couple.

Some of us slept outside. And when we woke up, and there was snow on the ground. FREEZE! It was cold.

Thanksgiving at the Eldredge farm!

2008-12-07T19:18:00.008-04:00

Our family spent Thanksgiving day at the Eldredge's. They had activities such as; go-kart riding, gun shooting, soccer, and last (but not least of course) EATING!

A bunch of people walked around the lake.

While others attempted to catch minnows. (No, I didn't fall in, sorry)

They set up some buckets for a go-kart race course!! It was the main attraction, and everyone who wanted to drive got to.

Leaning in for the curve around the bucket...

I think Riley enjoyed watching as well.

We also shot guns, tradition is tradition. It happens every year.

Rachel claimed this was her first time shooting a rifle. True statement or not, it deserved a picture.

Towards the evening everyone went inside and enjoyed those who had something to share--we heard songs from the piano, guitar, singing, and much more.

Creation Museum (take two)

2008-11-07T13:04:00.007-04:00

Here is a collection of pictures from when we got done with the museum and walked around the gardens on the grounds near the museum.

No caption is necessary here..... :)

Havalah wanted to run the bridge one more time, here we are cheering her on.

These were (by some of us) thought to be 'pitcher' plants. Insect eating flowers I guess.

He wanted a closer look at the mist.

And then it was time to leave, and it was sad. :( We had a great time.
So that's all there is, there isn't any more.
And then I closed the door.

But wait!! It's not entirely the end. We got home and Naomi made cookies!

And they were delicious.

The REAL end.

Creation Museum with Rachel and Family.

2008-11-04T23:07:00.013-04:00

Awhile ago Rachel and Tom and family came up from Missouri for a visit. We went to the Creation Museum for the whole day and had a great time. Here are the pictures from that occasion.
The place is actually quite gorgeous (once the crowds of people have left.... )

We all arrived in the big van ready to go.

They have lots of interesting and valuable facts to remember. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience this unique museum yet, I highly recommend going.
Once before we had the privilege of spending the day there with the English family, and had such a nice time we decided to go back.

And then it was lunch time! Oh happy day!

Rachel said something funny....she does that a lot. :)

Yes sir, we had some tasty food. Everyone came out satisfied.*

After lunch the kids played on the swinging bridge, it was a pretty snazzy contraption.

This place also had a petting zoo!!

This camel was a favorite among the family.

With maybe the exception of Seth....

Evening at the Park

Havalah making a face for the picture.

New Family Blog

2008-10-02T23:05:00.003-03:00

Our family has needed to have a blog for awhile now. Ever since we moved to Indiana, to be precise. And now we have one!
Hopefully it will be kept up with pictures and postings of what's going on in the family (I am even thinking about making short video clips specifically for the blog.......but anyway). The next few weeks I'll will be fiddling around with fonts/borders/colors/etc., of the page, so don't expect much of anything else in the way of pictures and posts.
