Magic School Bus

We love the Family Series hosted by the Orpheum Theatre each year. They bring family friendly, 1-hour long shows to the theatre for families to enjoy. It exposes the kids to live theatre in a beautiful environment and it is a relatively inexpensive way to get some culture in them as well. The latest show was The Magic School Bus. Anna enjoys the books, even though she mostly read them in first and second grade. The books have the premise of the crazy science teacher Mrs. Frizzle taking the students on her Magic School Bus, that often turns into another form of transportation, to teach the kids about science. The show we saw was on the climate and global warming. It was a musical and the girls really enjoyed it. They even both learned a little bit along the way. Aftewards we went to Cafe Eclectic in midtown for dinner and dessert. The girls were eyeing the soda fountain desserts when we walked in! They did not disappoint!

Next up is Eric Carle's stories including The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear Brown Bear.
