Children's Outing - KidzArt

Plenty of budding Picassos turned out to showcase their artistic talents at the new KidzArt studio in February. There was so much excitement generated by this outing that KidzArt offered two classes so all the kids could participate. The classes were broken down according to age so that KidzArt could plan projects suitable for each age group. The older kids (ages 4 and up) went first and learned how to draw a dog and a gumball machine. Then is was the younger kids turn. They got the chance to use paint and make an ice cream cone using different shaped sponges and paint rollers. I think everyone had a great time and all of us moms were very impressed with the art our little ones were able to create!

Mom's Night Out - Dinner and The Comedy Spot

Five NMG moms began a fun evening out with dinner at Pete’s Restaurant and Brewhouse downtown. We had a delicious meal along with some interesting people watching opportunities! From there, we headed to Sacramento Comedy Spot’s swanky new midtown location. First up was Comedy from the Couch. Which was exactly as it sounds...three comedians sitting on a couch drinking beer. Each got up to take their turn at some stand-up comedy. They gave us some good laughs. The place completely filled up for the second show which was called the Anti-Cooperation League. It was an hour-long improv show based solely on the contents of a couple of audience members’ purses and wallets. We all managed to escape being brought up to the stage to have our purses gone through. One of our NMG moms (okay it was me) had even fleeced her purse before heading to the show in absolute fear that she would be dragged up on stage. The improv was hilarious and kept the audience roaring with laughter!

Children's Outing - Explorit in Davis

In January we headed to Explorit in Davis for our children's outing. We had a good turn out of NMG families who made it out for a fun trip to Explorit. We learned about motion and made parachutes that we then got to put them in a wind tunnel. In the days following our trip to Explorit, many NMG families participated in an unexpected experiment designed to test the strength of our immune systems. It was called the "Explorit Plague".
