Adventures at -6 Degrees

While my vote is to make it illegal to leave your house on days when it's this cold, I'm guessing that won't happen. So, the adventures must continue!

Today we made the 45 minute drive up to Ames to check out a children's show at the Scheman building at Iowa State.  It was advertised for kids who are kindergarten to grade 5.  We brought two kids that are both pre-k and they both loved it!  Very worth the drive.

Today's show was "Charlotte's Web" and it was very well done.  Tickets were $4 in advance and $5 at the door.  And they were packed!  So if you go to see one of the next shows, get there early since it is general seating and seats fill up quickly.  The show lasted 60 minutes. The next show for that age group in the Youth Matinee Series is in April and the show is "Seusical". They offer shows for older kids too though, the list is here: http://www.center.iastate.edu/events/education/ 

A lot of parents take their kids out of school for the morning and a lot of schools were there on field-trips, but I think it was perfect for pre-k kids too!  They had two shows, one at 10:00am and one at 12:30pm.  Either one you pick, make sure you hit Hickory Park while you are up there! Check out my review of Hickory Park here!

Look for others family shows like "Blue Man Group", a show called ZooZoo that is playing this Sunday and is for ages 3 and up that looks really cute and Shrek that is playing on February 13th at 7:30pm. Click on the links for more info and to buy tickets for these and other shows.
