I am quite certain the day could not have been any busier! And we were in our fancy clothes all day.....I LoVE it when kids are extra adorable!

We started with a book swap. I played music and students marched around till the music stopped. Then we repeated that a few times. After about 5 turns, we kept the book at the desk we stopped on. We gathered on the carpet and opened books, shared what the inscription was, and showed our new treasures.

Then we ate a snack and loaded onto the bus.

Our destination was the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, in downtown Portland. It is one of the most beautiful building, and is the home for the Oregon Symphony. We were going to see Ten Grands for Kids, a free concert. Ten Grand Pianos are all arranged on stage and played by kids from ages 5-18. They are amazing. They played some solos, and duets, and all 10 at one time! So cool and something some kiddos would never otherwise experience.
