Beauty and the Beast(s)

Yesterday (Saturday) we had a very exciting day. First "Beauty". The Idaho-Washington Symphony annually presents a gift of a free children's concert. This year we were able to attend. Like all music "stuff" Etta did pretty well. Always pays more attention while the music is playing and less attention while there is talking. One of the high lights of the concert is getting to "walk through" the orchestra. That interested her A LOT. At the end I took her up and stood in front of the stage. The things that interested her the most? The percussion. Uh-oh. Well, as long as she learns keyboard instruments too!

Cellos and violas

After Christine and I ran 10 miles (Sweet!) and Etta took a little over a three hour nap (she must be growing...) we went up to the dog show to see the "Beasts". Some people were super nice and let Etta pet their dogs. We did not get any pictures of this though. But here are a couple of super cute Parson Russell Terrier puppies. (It's like a Jack Russell only different.) More pictures of Etta to follow tomorrow.
