Soccer and Shakespeare have been our February consuming activities! Over Valentine's weekend we had the opportunity to go to St. George for the Ice Breakers cup for Brinton. The weather was awesome and it was fun to see Brinton be able to have his own weekend. Unfortunately for their team, they were playing against U-11 teams which means they were a year older. When they did play one team that was their age, they blew them away! They ended their soccer tournament on a win! We were able to stay in a friend's house in Ivans which is by Tuahcahn theatre and it was so beautiful. Brinton's soccer team was able to rent the top floor of the Pirate Island Pizza Place. They had arcades and games and we ate what was called "The Cracken". According to the waiter, it was the perfect pizza for a family. We said to bring it and it literally took over the entire table. We had food for the next two days!! On Sunday, we were able to go with Dave's sister Stacy and her hubby Brad and our nephew Maison on a short hike. We walked a hike that took us to the place where the pioneers had taken the rock to build the foundation for the St. George Temple. We were able to see what they went through to get the materials all the way to the lot that the Temple is on. You can still see markings on the rocks and the nail marks where the saints cut out pieces. What a cool opportunity!! What a fun weekend!
We were also able to help Braeden in participating in two Shakespeare plays that his class was doing. He tried out and earned the part of MacBeth and was in The Taming of the Shrew! He was awesome! They worked for so long as a class and put in so much work. Friday, Dave and I went to see him perform and I think it took Dave by surprise. He said that he was great and that it was a little unexpected. They will be performing the same plays at Murray High School in April. I had an odd experience at Target though. I had to buy him tights for his costume. I had no idea what size to buy so I had him try them on that night. He came down wearing them and informed me that they were so comfortable and he didn't know what I was complaining about every Sunday! Needless to say, Dave about fell over! That reaction was worth buying my son tights!
