Institute 2011

It's that time of year again, and this time we tested our endurance by enrolling all 4 kids at institute!  It took a little coordination, and a lot of help from Grandma Jane, but everyone had a great week.  Emily and Andrew were excited to be included this year.  They had a storytelling class, 2 rhythm and dance classes, and Emily had one violin class.  Sarah and Savannah had their regular full schedules, and it's amazing how much they are growing up.  Sarah was very independent and went to many of her classes by herself this year.

 Of course every great Institute experience involves lots of yummy food.  Everyone got a day to choose where we went to lunch, and Emily chose Panda Express.


 Andrew enjoyed his noodles!

 Another happy day of classes!

Andrew and Emily had one class with my cousin Amy Frandsen's twin girls, Abby and Bekah.  They had a ton of fun together and it was fun to get to know new cousins!

Emily had fun playing her violin with other kids her size.  Her teachers were very fun and motivating.


 Here is Savannah practicing her "Professional Posture".  Her master class teacher was from Argentina, and he was awesome.


Thursday was "T-shirt day".  It was so fun to have Aunt Robin and Grandma Jane with us all week.  This a tradition that we love and look forward to all year!
