Aesop's Fables






Recently two little students who are enrolled in the School of Keigley attended a cultural experience in nearby Greenville.




First, we traveled to the Peace Center and watched Jim West's Aesop's Fables, a fun and interactive puppet/theatre performance that the girls loved - laughing out loud at many scenes. "I liked everything, especially the silly guy who pretended to be Super Puppet," London said. "I liked the giraffe puppet and the dog puppet best," Mosely said.




After the show we headed to Mellow Mushroom to eat pizza slices larger than London and Mosely's heads. And it was some good pizza. We even got to sit on the tall stools since no babies went with us. (Thanks for babysitting, Riley!!)




With full bellies we made our way to the Greenville Museum of Art. We toured the exhibits. London stood amazed before such large works of art. After gazing at the pieces for a while we gathered our clipboards and colored pencils and sat down on the floor to imitate the works we were studying. The girls drew and drew and even wrote some poems about the artwork.




We had such fun experiencing what Greenville culture has to offer us. We enjoyed it so much, in fact, that Riley and I have a similar outing planned for tomorrow and all of the kids have several more plays to attend this season!





4 pieces of candy! Yum!:
