A Great Night with the Kids!!!

On Wednesday night we took the boys to the Tree House in Ogden for the "Mad Hatter's Tea Party"! We indeed got to go to wonderland and share in the story of Alice and all her crazy friends. The boys met the Queen of Hearts, the Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the Hare, and of course the musical caterpillar. They began the evening with the Queen of Hearts trying their hands at her favorite rendition of croquet, Flamingoes and Hedgehogs! Of course the rules were that she had to win but it was fun none the less. The queen asked the children if they liked to play games and what games did they play. Children began naming Monopoly, hide 'n' seek, memory, etc! Then the queen asked Gage and he excitedly told her he loves to play the wii!!! The queen laughed and said she had a Wii too and that it was very fun. Leave it up to one of my sons and the Wii is ever present on their minds!!! The queen was getting a little worried by the time we were going to move to the Mad Hatter's because Isaac was getting very good at croquet and she didn't want to take off his head! (remember only the queen can win) He was proud though. Then we were off to make hats for the Mad Hatter's tea party. As we were making our hats the rabbit was playing hide and seek with the kids and finally Alice spotted him and she took off running after the rabbit and the boys though that was so hilarious. I wish i could have recorded their hysterical laughter!!! Then it was on to the tea party where the boys were instructed in proper tea party etiquette by the Mad Hatter and the Hare. And finally we ended in the magical forest with the caterpillar and his dum dums!!! They sang fun songs with nursery rhymes and the kids got an instrument to play along. The boys really enjoyed themselves and can't wait for their next trip to wonderland. It was a really fun night and we got to drive home in dumping snow and wind!!! At least the boys thought that was fun too...
