The girls with their Redskins Read Activity Books!

The girls had a GREAT day yesterday! First were Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Auditions! Them and a bunch of their friends planned to meet at the audition place at exactly 1:30 so that they could all audition together. It almost worked out, but Matthew and Michael ended up in a different group. Then they went to Robeks and McDonalds and came back to our house. There they watched The Office, played a singing game called Encore, and played outside on the swings and trampoline. Afterward, everyone but Caroline came to the Stake Dance that was that night! Sarah and Amy had a BLAST!!!! Amy said it was the best dance out of the three she has been to!! :) Today the results of the auditions came in. Sarah is a wife of one of the brothers, Amy is a daughter and an egyptian, and Abby and Jenn are in the Children's Ensemble! This has been a GREAT weekend!!
