Last weekend we traveled to Ohio to see Nic in his first, real stage production. Gosh, we were so excited when we heard he had a good audition and the parts had been assigned. We have been encouraging him to try out for a play and he was finally ready, I guess. He played the role of Jaq, the mouse, and had lots of lines to learn and even did some dancing with Cinderella. Flash photography was banned and I wasn’t close to the stage so, the photos had to be taken with my fastest lens which is my 50mm but didn’t bring the stage to me like a telephoto would have done. One thing that annoys me is that so many people don’t follow the photography rules and use flash any way during these events.

Any way, we had a great time at the play and the rest of the weekend. Jason also had a musical success when his men’s group received a Number ONE rating for their performance. They sang “Go Down Moses” and watching him totally took me back to my flute performing days – wow, I would get soooo nervous.

Mark’s sister and niece went to the play with us so I had fun walking with Camilla and Lucy before the play, too.

I’m so pleased to see that finally WordPress put the photos where I insert them – glad I upgraded everything today.
