Hey everyone! This is Alie and Lexi, counselors here at AXP! Today was a long, but really fun day! After our arts workshops and creative expression classes, we had lunch with many musicians from the Pacific Symphony, and the kids learned a lot about them and their jobs. Right after lunch, we headed straight to Laguna for the Pageant of the Masters and the Festival of the Arts. We took a tour of backstage for the Pageant of the Masters to see how all of the show's magic comes together. The kids really enjoyed seeing all of the different costumes, make-up, and set pieces up close. After our V.I.P. tour, we went to glaze our own pottery and make other forms of visual art that the kids are going to love showing their parents! After that, we walked all the way up to a park on the cliffs of Laguna that overlooked the ocean. All of the kids enjoyed playing games, being evaluated on their rooms (the scores were a little scary), and prepping for the talent show. After we ate dinner, we were so priviledged to be able to meet Carl St. Clair and listen to his inspirational advice for future artists. We then walked back to the Festival and got to appreciate more beautiful pictures, sculptures, and lots of other artwork. Finally, we watched the Pageant. The kids really liked the show, and couldn't stop talking about it. Now, they are all peacefully asleep and maybe dreaming about the show :). They can't wait for tomorrow when they'll get to see their parents and show off what they've been learning! See you soon!
