Amarillo Opera

We went to see a performance of The Thunder of Horses by the Amarillo Opera this morning.

It was really good.  The entire cast was made up of children of various ages, and they all did a really good job.  I can't believe how loud and clear some of the little kids were able to sing!

The show was about an hour long, and it told a fable about how the Native Americans of this area came to domesticate horses.

We went with our local homeschool group, and we had the entire balcony to ourselves.  The main floor was filled with school groups, and I noticed that when the lights were dimmed and everyone got quiet, a ton of the school kids below were coughing and sneezing and sniffling.  I was kinda glad that we were sitting upstairs, because no one in our group seemed to be sick.

Afterwards, we went across the street to the main library branch to do our homeschool lessons for the day.

 It was fun to do our homeschool in a location other than home.  I always like it when we take our homeschool to the library.  Connor wanted to be extra quiet this time, so instead of talking to me about his assignments, he kept texting me.  It was funny, since we were sitting right next to each other.
