For two weeks in June the kids have the opportunity to be part of the Youth Arts Festival here in Spanish Fork, or as Enoch calls it, the “UTES ARTS VESTIBULE”! There are a lot of different classes for ages 3-15, so the kids and I went down to the high school every morning with our picnic lunch and stayed until 2:00. It was great fun. Here is a report from each of them…
MIRIAM
I liked doing dance class and I liked doing arts and crafts and now I’m not scared of doing show choir. And I liked the swimming pool at the high school. I liked going to Grandma’s and doing fireworks. And I liked getting glow sticks really much. I liked the sparklers.
ELLIE
At the “Utes Arts-t best-a-bull” I got to play with play dough! And, I got to play with, um, sneeze! Sneeze! Sneeze! Did you get the “achoo” part? And I um went to um um um um um um, Mom, just do two of the ums! I did dancing and I got to play with Miss Melanie’s puppets. I got to make a sun. And I got to make a shirt with sparkles on it.
NATALIE
My favorite class was arts and crafts because we tie-dyed shirts and made magnets. I also took show choir, hip hop, and swimming lessons
ISAAC
I took a break-dancing class and it was really fun and I’ll probably take it again next year. I took a lego art class and I built a giant guitar out of legos. I took a bluegrass class, like every year, and I’ll probably take it again. And then, I took diving class, and I accidentally did an aerial off the board. I got to the state track meet!
AURIANA
I took song writing taught by Cherie Call, and I wrote a song about a book called Goose Girl. In the showcase she sang it and I played along with her on my Mandolin and it sounded really good. I also took bluegrass and it was really fun to perform the songs that we learned. In arts and crafts I made magnets out of clay that looked like dice.
ENOCH
He refuses to dictate, but he also enjoyed lego art, he built a hover craft and many other things. He took a music class and swimming lessons.
