Disney's Alice in Wonderland Jr.

Maddy just finished up two weeks of a theatre camp program 

at our local community playhouse!

The students spent 10 days from 9 am to 4 pm

every day working on their

songs and dances and honing their acting skills!

And then, they put on a 

fabulous performance 

for friends and family.

Maddy in back -- 7 of Diamonds

The performance was so much fun!

Maddy was a flower and a lobster and a playing card

and did a lot of background performing.

She was so animated and had tons of fun!

And she hopes to audition for a December

Junie B. Jones production.

It was a very successful camp and all of the
performers worked hard and did a great job!
 We are beyond thrilled that our community theatre 

provides such wonderful opportunities 

to try something new and stretch some wings!

Connor and Maddy - Fun after the performance!

Hello Monday!

Hello Monday!

Whoa -- it was a very hot and humid weekend, 

but . . . 

good news -- a polar vortex

(remember those from last winter? Brrrr!!)

is headed our way and cooler temps expected!

Maddy finished up a week-long half-day theatre camp

last Friday.  There were 95 kids in the camp and

they all did a fabulous job performing!

She starts a new theatre camp today!

Hope she enjoys it just as much!

Do you see what these photos mean?

Very happy news for me.

I have a guy working on the floor trim!!

Yes, Finally!

The job that started in April 

may actually finish in July!

And, we've been so happy to have the

little kids here in town!

Spent some time at the zoo last weekend!

The heat and extreme humidity gave me a whopper migraine, but

was loads of fun and more to come!

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Who Wants to go Under the Sea?

Remember "The Little Mermaid?"

We loved that movie.  

Our local community playhouse recently put on their own

version and it was so fun! 



Two eels -- friends of the Wicked Ursula -- both are in
 Maddy's theatre camp!

 

The cast was mostly junior high and high school students

with a couple of elementary kids thrown into the mix.



One of the Mermaids -- jr high schooler
also in Maddy's theatre camp

 

Maddy's been attending a theatre camp the past two weeks and really enjoying it.

I'm so proud of her to try something so out of her usual comfort zone.

 

Another camper!

 

As part of the camp, Maddy went to one of the early performances.

We love going to the community playhouse,

 so I bought tickets ages ago (they usually sell out).

  It was really fun -- even though I spilled

the popcorn immediately! 

 No more treats for me! :)

 

The Star of the show - Ariel -- she was fabulous
and in high school!

Maddy's theatre camp is doing performances of "Honk"

on Saturday -- more on that to follow!
