An Entertaining Evening

Last Monday night we watched Shawn's fencing class. It was the last class of this round of lessons, so they had a class competition and they also held a melee, which is basically a fencing free-for-all! They had a blast. We watched from the balcony above the gym. Two of Shawn and Julia's friends, Seth and Ethan, came to watch too.

After the fencing class we came back to our house where Shawn gave his friends a few lessons and they all had their turn trying on the equipment.

Then we were treated to a concert. One of the kid's friends plays the piano and the other plays the violin. They are both fabulous musicians. We could have listened for hours, in fact I think we did! We were treated to everything from An Ashokan Farewell to The Orange Blossom Special to Vivaldi and Ravel. It was wonderful! Live music is such a special treat.

What a wonderful evening of entertainment and fun! We have it on video too so we can watch and listen again.
