Puppet Shows & Demolition Derby

Friday was our last day of our Teaching About the Arts class. The class, which was divided into three groups for the semester, came back together for the puppet shows. There were 11 shows performed. All in all, the shows went really well. Many of them were really cute. We based our puppet show from the book "Little Quack's New Friend." We had a really good group (Jill and Brenda were in my group) so it worked out well. It went really smoothly and we got a few laughs. I was nervous although I don't know why. It was fun. Jill brought her 2 year old daughter, Abby. She's just the cutest little girl. After Jill brought her back from the bathroom, she announced to everyone that the "toilet splashed water on my butt." It was hilarious. Kids can say the funniest things. Now we only have a couple more afternoon classes next week (our SPED classes). Not that the summer semester was difficult, but it will be nice to get back to doing what I want during the day.

Last night we went up to the Johnson County fair to meet one of Michael's co-workers at the derby. So I called Jill and she met us over there. It was her first time being to a derby! She ended up picking the car that was the winner, go figure. It was loud and fun, although we never did end up meeting up with Michael's friend. He was there with his wife and kids and I think they stayed on the rides longer than expected. I haven't been to a fair in years, not that we really did any fair activities. I don't trust those rides and we don't play the games. We also took the bike up there, and by the time we left it was dark, so I got my first ride at night. It wasn't too bad, just a couple of bugs to the forehead.

Today I'm headed to Clarksville to meet up with Jaime. We're celebrating my birthday today since she'll be in a school in N. Dakota on the 8th. We're going to go shopping for a little while and then go to a dinner play. The play being performed is Beauty and the Beast, my favorite Disney movie, so it should be excellent.
