(Belated) Symphonic Adventures

Last weekend, I decided to be the brave teacher and take some of my kids on an outing! I thought, since I enjoy the Springfield Symphony, that I would take some of my students to expose them to the wonderful music of John Williams. I could only take four due to my jeep not being a bus and I chose the students through an essay contest. Part of the adventure was dressing up and getting to go to CiCi's Pizza! Here are some fun photos of me and my kids.

Here we are before the big adventure! I absolutely loved how dressed up the kids were, especially my Aaron. He's been one of my hardest kids this year, and I was tickled pink to see that his dad the tattoo artist took him shopping to get a whole new outfit!




...fun car shots...


Part of the excitement of the evening was going to CiCi's Pizza. Here's a timer shot...the sun was pretty bright!!


The actual concert took place at Juanita K. Hammon's Hall in Springfield. Here's what it looks like on the outside.


Here's a fountain shot...

One of the highlights for the kids (and myself) was that there were about 20 different people with authentic costumes from the movie. Of course we stayed after to take fun picures. I love the one with Aaron looking up at Darth Vader and the one of me and my white boyfriend.




This one's my boyfriend...or so I like to think...
