Art, Opera, and Basketball



 
 The Williams Girls had a lovely afternoon out looking at beautiful artwork and enjoying the Phantom of the Opera courtesy the BYU museum of art and theater arts department. Can you say FABULOUS DAY!!
 It was a fantastic production with amazing vocals, stunning scenery, and beautiful costumes. What a phenomenal production of Phantom!



 
To top off a wonderful day, we threw in some BYU Basketball at the Marriot Center.













Brandt became a real babe-magnet after winning the State Hoop Shoot.

State Hoop shoot held in Provo
February 2, 2013
Brandt competed against 2 other boys who won their regions. In the first round, he tied with another boy, so there was a shoot-off of five baskets. The boys both hit 4, so another shoot-off ensued. They both hit 4 again! Another shoot-off.....Brandt hit all 5 and won it all. He is the best 10-11 year old free-throw shooter in the state of Utah. Next stop, western regionals in Las Vegas.


 
 
 

 Triumphant!

We had a splendid day enjoying the artwork of the Mideast. There was an array of caligraphy from the Koran, rugs from Persia, and sacred art from the Islamic religion.




 
Leonardo DaVinci Exhibit
In Salt Lake City January 2013
 
 
DaVinci was a genius. He sketched, painted, sculpted, imagined, and was continuously creating new inventions---anything from war apparatus to flying machines. He was a keen observer of nature and unlocked the secrets to many of lifes treasures.
