The Hills are Alive!

... With the sound of music! Tonight was the opening performance of The Sound of Music at our elementary school.  A friend of mine has a business that does professional quality plays with children (Spotlight Children's Theatre) and our school was smart enough to jump on board.  Simon was Admiral Von Schribber, Annie Joy was a goat/ Austrain, and the rest of the crew were entertained for 1 1/2 hours of musical theatre bliss.  What a wonderful way to spend Friday night!

Simon is looking delightfully official.

Annie and Simon are so lovely on stage.

Simon's part was just perfect for him.  He remained stern and serious throughout the show, just as an admiral should.

Annie was a delightful goat.

Speaking of goats... before the play I went with a friend to Wheeler Farm.

We saw loads of animals...

Chased some geese...

Gotta love anywhere with an old fashioned jungle gym, in the form of an old wagon.

Dangerous, awesome tree to climb.

Several monkeys in a tree.
