Last Monday was Memorial Day. The kids were home from school and Dan was home from work.
We didn't do anything too exciting, though. Dan mowed the lawn, and Margie worked on the programs for Lyn's ballet recital. In the afternoon, Lyn and Margie headed over to Pirate's Cove, but it was short lived, as there was a thunder storm on its way and they closed the pool. We came home disappointed, but went back later in the afternoon when the sun was shining again.
We came home and had some "not" dogs with sauerkraut salad (an old family tradition from Margie's side).
The next day, Lyn had the dress rehearsal for her recital. We had to do a quick kid switch, as Margie had to quickly get to Oliver rehearsal and Dan was needed at the theatre. Unfortunately, Margie got COMPELTELY lost trying to find her way there--it's time she got that iPhone she's had her eye on! Luckily, Margie was able to reach Dan at the theatre and he helped her find her way.
Wednesday was the big day!!!! Lyn did a lovely job and did her parents proud. She was the first one on the stage and led the whole class in the beginning of the dance. Then, she was the last one off, and spontaneously blew the whole audience a kiss! Everyone loved it.
Unfortunately, we forgot to bring the camera, so we had to take pictures afterwards at home. Aunt Debbie (and our friend Sandi Cumberland) also took some pictures, so hopefully we'll get copies of those soon.
For those of you who missed it, be sure to ask to watch the video the next time you come over! :o)
After the recital we all went out for sushi (Lyn's choice, of course). It was yummy!
On Thursday, Margie had rehearsal--this time she was able to get there just fine.
On Friday, we recuperated!
Saturday morning, the family headed in to the theatre. Margie had a meeting, and Dan was needed to help with the set. Lyn and John had fun playing on the computers in the office.
Afterwards we came home and cleaned up the basement--then Margie and the kids went to Pirate's Cove...again. This was John's first trip of the season, and there was no sign of rain. Yipee! The bad news is that the BUGS were out in full force. The good news is that they didn't bother you if you stayed in the pool. Dan stayed home to work on the racecar.
Early Sunday morning, Dan went to a race. He finished in first place again. But again he didn't have anyone to race against in his class, either. If anyone wants to come use his car, Dan would love the competition!
After choir practice, the family again headed to LTA--this time for Double Tech (two dress rehearsals back to back) for LTA's latest production, It Runs in the Family. We had dinner there, provided by the theatre, and Lyn got to watch the rehearsals. Lyn says she liked the music--since it's not a musical, she must mean the pre-show music.
We got back late and didn't have time to write up our doings--so here you go!
Hope all is well with everyone and that you're looking forward to a fun summer. We sure are!
