Am I a Man or a Muppet?

The kids have a 5-day weekend for Fall Break this year, so we drove down to Mesa to visit Ryan's family. All of the cousins are also on fall break, so it works out perfectly! Today we had a great time at Amy and Kaley's dance studio. They planned a cute Muppet-themed party with decorations, games, pizza, and cookies!

What else should we do in a dance studio? Dance, of course!

Duck, Duck, Goose!

The kids divided into two groups and took turns recording a music video to the song, "Am I a Man or a Muppet?" Later everyone got together and recorded it one more time. Everyone loved "playing" their instruments, and I'm sure the music video will turn out great!

Benjamin loved it until he had to share the guitar!

Another game was Musical Chairs

One of the last activities was a dress-up relay game. Each kid had to put on all of the clothing, tag each side of the room, then run over to Cassi and the video camera and tell a joke (like Fozzie Bear) before going back to take everything off and tag the next team member. This one was definitely a fun one to watch!

I am always amazed at my sisters-in-law's creativity! Thanks for a great start to our Fall Break!
