Their first symphony

About a week ago Sophia told me that she wanted to learn how to play the flute. The flute! I have no idea where she even saw a flute, but of course I will entertain the idea.

The perfect opportunity came up today for us to go and see a symphony orchestra play live at the performance arts center, the Sandler Center.  Apparently they do this every January (mental note!). This year the theme was a "Carnival of Animals".  We got there right on time so we didn't get to browse around in the atrium before the show.  While I was standing in line to buy our tickets Will took the girls to get their faces painted.  Lilly didn't want anything.  Sophia chose a blue doggie on her left cheek.

After the show, there was an "instrument petting zoo" for the kids to walk through.  Sophia wanted to wait in line (quite a long time) to learn about the flute.  She even got to blow into one a time or two.  It seems really, really, really hard.
