Weekend Update: Sleeping Beauties

Late Friday night Jay and I got on the open road and headed to San Diego to see Tori's girls in their first (and hopefully not last!) musical - Sleeping Beauty. It was a rough drive out there since it was so late, but we made it and groggily arrived around 2am.

The play was put on by Christian Youth Theatre and was held at a local school. We attended their 8th (out of 9!) show on Saturday afternoon and can't even express how impressed we were! We knew the girls would be great - they had been rehearsing for months - but on top of that, the set and effects were outstanding!

::sidenote:: did you know that the earliest copy of the story was written by a Frenchman named Charles Perrault in 1697? 

Now let me introduce you to Salt and Pepper - two of the twelve spinning fairies in a newly updated version (though based on one of many past interpretations) of the classic:

Isabel was Pepper and Serena was salt. All of the fairies had "flavorful" names including Chicory, Clove and Paprika and were dressed in colors that matched their name. 

We are so proud! They did a fantastic job!

The whole family - look how big Noah is now (turning 3 next month)!

After the play, we dropped Noah off at the babysitter so us adults could get some q.t.. We picked a place in Pacific Beach for snacks and drinks and felt old with all of the college kids that were out & about!

We found out at the very last minute that Adam was going to be in town and were glad that he was able to make it home!

 It has been quite a while since we've gone out just the 4 of us & it was so nice to catch up! It's crazy to think that we all met at flight school....Tori & I as the students and Adam & Jay as the instructors! How time flies, eh?!
