Opening night of Godspell Jr. was fantastic. I expect it to get better each show. I won't have action shots for awhile so just enjoy these before/after show pictures for now. 

Hannah has a beautiful singing voice & I'm sorry for all of you out-of-towners who couldn't be here. I'm not sure the video will do her justice.

Preview of Hannah (the florist) in Godspell Jr.

Here's a preview of Hannah as a florist in Godspell Jr. I took it during rehearsal. Godspell is a musical with parables from the book of Matthew but it's set in modern times. That's why she's a florist and dressed "regular".

San Diego/Coronado Island

 View from our room (used only a little zoom to cut out the edge of the parking lot).

 View from the Navy Base side of the island to that pricey Hotel Del Coronado side of the island.

 

 View of our hotel from the beach. We were in the 2 story building on the left. The building on the right is the newer part.

 Joshua being brave in the pool. Cold!!

On the rooftop terrace.

Here's the last batch of vacation pictures. Our last stop on the way home from San Jose/Regionals was Coronado Island. We stayed at the Navy Lodge on Base. We love that place. As you can see it's uncrowded and beautiful. The $86 per night (no tax) price tag is pretty amazing for any beach.

It was windy and cool for the first afternoon/evening & parts of our full day there. Not that I'm complaining about the cold. We never broke out the boogie boards but we did walk the beach several times. The wind makes for bad hair days though. We didn't find nearly as many sand dollars as a few years ago. We only found a handful of tiny ones & they were partially broken in the center. We still found lots of shells.  

The Navy Lodge added a huge new building since our last visit. They offered a breakfast now too. The kids enjoyed the waffle machine but they needed more than 2 for the amount of people there OR we needed to be there at 6am, I guess!

On our last day there we walked the beach again and leisurely checked out near noon & went out to lunch before our drive home. We got home around 6pm. 

Hannah jumped right back into her theater schedule with a last regular practice for theater the next day and tech week this week. Her opening night is TONIGHT!!!!! I saw part of the end of the rehearsal on Wednesday. I'm sorry for those of you who can't make it! It will be amazing.  I'm sure I'll have pictures from after the shows soon. Pictures of the actual performance need to be ordered & that can take awhile. Be very patient:)

Knott's Berry Farm

In the lobby of the Knott's Hotel.

 Waiting for Knott's to open.

 Todd & Hannah are up there somewhere!

 Don't you feel sorry for this sad lookin' varmint?

 Aerial view from the Sky Ride. Joshua & I were on this while Todd & Hannah were on that crazy thing.

 Todd & Hannah are 3 cars back/1st row of 3rd car. Yes, her mouth is open in scream mode.

 I went on Supreme Scream with Hannah first & then she went with Todd.

 This was more Joshua's style:)

 We always seem to find the outhouses.

 We splurged on Snoopy cupcakes & a big cookie.

 After we left the San Jose area, we drove to Southern CA to go to Knott's Berry Farm. We couldn't make a trip to Disneyland happen so we did Knott's for one day. I think the last time we went was 8 years ago. We stayed at the Knott's Berry Farm Hotel for two nights & went to Knott's on a Monday. There were practically no lines. I guess everyone is over at Disneyland! Todd & Hannah went on some scary coasters. We saw some of the gang and left for San Diego on Tuesday. Beach pictures are up next:)

Pier 39

 Alcatraz

 Golden gate Bridge

 Joshua making "music" on these piano steps.

These pictures are at Pier 39 the day before quizzing started. We got a little sightseeing in before Regionals. More to come.....

Tide Pool

 Awwww, seals.

 Tons of little crabs everywhere-had to be careful where we stepped.

 Pretty girl:)

 Piece of claw.

 HUGE shell. It took everything within me to not take this. There where signs that it was a "no collecting" area. I know someone else will take it but I only took the picture. It was probably 6-7" in length.

Joshua by a cool tree.

Here's the tide pool pictures. They're pretty self explanatory.
