Jam-Packed Saturday!

 Daryle took the kids to try out at open auditions Monday last week for a play with the Missoula Children's Theater.  Out of 198 kids who auditioned, 56 got parts, including Ni'ke!!  She was a playful parrot in "Blackbeard the Pirate" - so fun to watch her!  Rea and I dropped her off early yesterday morning for final dress rehearsal at the Wells Fargo Center and then hit the farmer's market just outside.
 I LOVE farmer's markets!.... And this one was pretty spectacular - lots of awesome fresh produce and herbs and food and GaGa drip coffee.  And did I mention the cupcakes?  And honey sticks....  It was SO hot already by 10:00 am, we had to cool off in the shade of our truck for a moment or two.

 At the box office, ready to go watch Ni'ke break a leg!

 The entire cast, after the show!

 Ni'ke, the cutest little parrot, EVER!  Shake your tail feathers!!!!


 "AAAARGH!"

 The sailors!
 The beloved crabs!



 The other kids thought it was so cool to watch their sister up on stage.  Only Rea exhibited a few signs of jealousy.....  :)  But they passed quickly!

 After show hugs!


 Yogurt Time!!  Perfect for a 90 degree afternoon....

 We found a park and a baseball game to pass the time between the two afternoon shows.

 Ma-lak couldn't tear his eyes away from the game.  Perhaps we will be switching from swimming to something a little more animated for this bundle of energy?!
