It would appear that we brought the rain with us from Florida to the Festival. It rained half the night when we were outdoors watching The Merry Wives of Windsor, so we had to watch some of the play in the bad seats of the auditorium. Fortunately, the rain stopped and we did get to see the last half of the play in the great theater. Jason was a champ during the rain and passed out supplies to everyone to keep them dry. The play was hilarious and exceptionally well done.The next day we got family pictures taken. The cloudy weather was wonderful here because it kept us all cool and gave great lighting. I'll post some pictures from that once we get them. Fortunately, Mom just sent me this picture of the little girls all dressed up for the picture!
We then saw the matinee of H.M.S. Pinafore. The songs were stuck in my head for days! "And his fist be ever ready for the knockdown blow!"The little girls all went together to child care while we were at the plays. They presented their tickets (yes, they got tickets just like the big kids) and I think they totally bonded. Laura keeps asking to see her friends Kiki and Tiffy. Here are all the little girls playing with Mom before the matinee. She's everyone's favorite!
The reunion was too short, but it got extended (mostly) to the next weekend too. We missed Danny's family. The annual treasure hunt at the cabin and a birthday party for Dad, Steve and Heather was a blast. Laura adored the cabin and treasure hunt. She especially loved throwing rocks in the river. Aren't the Dads so cute carrying their girls up from the river?!
Another bonus was getting to meet David's "friend", Mel and her little boys. Here is Dave and his "friend" Mel (can you tell I'm vying for a title less obnoxious than "friend" here?!) bonding with the little girls over pictures that were taken in Cedar City.
It was so great to be able to spend this time with my family. These events are much too rare! I'm glad I've learned to cherish them while they're here.
