I wanted to share another post about more of our family Christmas events that we are doing this season. :)
Saturday morning started off snowy! I figured we might be pretty cold for the Christmas parade!
We dropped off Addie at work, had lunch at Subway and then went to the parade. It was at Victorian Square in Sparks.
The weather cleared and it was a beautiful day! The sunshine warmed us up nicely!
It was the first time to go to this parade so I am glad we went and experienced it. The crowds and some of the people around us made it distasteful but all in all, a good experience.
After the parade, we went to another family holiday event that I had scheduled. It was a Christmas Tuba Concert at the Wilbur May Museum here in Reno. We learned that the first Christmas Tuba Concert was held in New York City's Rockefeller Plaza Ice Rink in 1974. They are now held all over the world but this is the only one in Northern Nevada. They played many Christmas songs - many about the Lord. They invited the audience to sing along. That is Summer with her song sheet singing along below.
I think it is a wonderful experience for children to be exposed to different types of musical events. So much of that is missing in the culture of music today. If you have a chance, research and find events like these and take your kids and grandkids. It was neat to see and hear all the types of tubas and to enjoy a concert. Great time!
