Children's museum's Music and Mozzarella

The String Beans kicked off the opening night of the summer 'Music and Mozzarella' concert series hosted by the Children's Museum and Valentino's pizza. The kids danced and had a great time despite the heat.

rosy cheeks already...

Evie's cousins Gabriel, Clare and Delphina played so well together. They actually won the dance contest they are dancing in at the moment. There is a short video at the end of this post.

Claudia did a good job protecting her sister Delphina's American Girl

You gotta shake those hips just a little more buddy

Gabriel, Delphina and Clare

Ethan's just a little hot...but he's going to keep partying

Curt from the String Beans is announcing the winner of the dance competition and handing out pictures to Delphina, Gabriel and Clare.

And the closing song was "dance like a dinosaur". Evie is usually totally into this song but tonight...

...she seemed to have some reservations

...and still not sure...

After the last song the kids cooled down with a snow cone. Ethan is bending over to pick up a piece that had fallen on the ground and actually dumped his entire snow cone on his shoes. Mandy quickly rescued it and put it back into his cup before he noticed his feet were cold (and blue and sticky - oh wait, that's only something a mother would notice).

One of the best reasons for living in Lincoln is so Evie and Ethan can grow up with their cousins.

There is no getting that treat out of those clutched hands.

Ethan finished his and is now after Evie's. She just gracefully moved around in circles while she ate with Ethan close behind her every move.
