Sarabs, Mummies and Ankhs, oh my!

William took an Ancient Art class at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts this week. I handed the kids a cataloge of all the available summer classes in hopes that they would find something that interested them. William is not usually a big fan of making art or doing crafts and I was skeptical he would enjoy himself. He proved me wrong by having the best time, and being really proud of the art he created. He made some really interesting and cool things in the class and learned a plethora of interesting things about Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultures. Yipee for U of U youth education classes. It was a mother's dream class-- learning and fun!

We had a very busy week with the Ancient Art class, swimming lessons, piano lessons, and most importantly Anne's visit. Anne came out for some business and then a fun visit after she was done. We enjoyed having her here! William LOVED that she was reading Harry Potter and would pump her for Potter Information. Anne inspired William to want to read the books and so we bought book one and he is so excited to be reading it. He would sit right by Anne in the "reading corner" and read his book while she read hers. Heaven knows this family loves their Anita Bonita!
