Once On This Island

(This must be a record (at least of late)--blogging again after only three days.  I suppose insomnia has its perks.) :)

So, how about some musical fun?  We had a great time with Grandma B here to visit in mid-March.  She came mostly to see the girls perform in their musical, Once On This Island.  The girls think it is so fun to have someone in the audience besides Mom and Dad.  We also had some ward friends come see the play, which made their night. (The girls' night, not the ward friends' night--it was a great show, but this is middle school, after all.) ;)

I took some video at dress rehearsal, but then I found out because of copyright laws that I shouldn't have.  Whoops.  But now, somehow, I cannot find the videos on my camera or computer, so it looks like I obeyed the law after all.  Which is a little too bad because it would have been fun for you to see at least one song and dance.  Oh well. 


(These pictures really aren't great--I was sitting too far back and couldn't use a flash.  Plus, I have no idea how to use the settings on this camera.  But, you get the general idea.)

They're acting disappointed, is it working?

All three girls did a great job with their singing and dancing.  We are proud of all of their hard work! 

Besides the show, Grandma got to go to the after-show cast party with us, and we also went to church, did some shopping, went out to eat, and took her to the airport.  It was a fun visit, even though it was short.
