Field Trip

Last week, we headed to Galveston to see a children's play at the 1894 Grand Opera House. I kept Sophie out of school for the day so she could go, too.

Sophie, Melanie, Korben and Robbie waiting for the show to start.


This shot just makes me laugh, that Korben's weird face is the only thing in focus.


Sophie's new "camera smile" that she puts on whenever I ask her to say cheese.


Korben very soberly explains to Melanie that she should write him a love letter like the one she wrote to Daniel Radcliff.


Somehow, I don't think she's buying it.


Our View of the stage.


Sophie eagerly awaits the show.


Korben checks out what Keri's working on from behind Robbie.


Quinn, Taylor and the rest of the class were there, too.

The show was a play version of the children's story "The Velveteen Rabbit" - a favorite of mine when I was young. I remember being so sad that they had to burn all the boy's toys when he was sick. Anyway, just like last year's children's play, this was about 20 minutes too long for the kids, but it was a good experience anyway, and The Grand was awesome, as always. At least this year we were not on the balcony!
