Bye Bye Birdie ~ Shows 3 & 4




 Two family shots because lighting was slightly better if we moved to a different spot.




 Top picture is "Conrad" photo bombing & the next two we let him be in the pics.


The last two shows were both on Saturday-2pm & 7pm. This makes for a super long day especially since every family has to stay & tear down the set,pack up costumes,and clean the venue. Hannah woke up that Saturday feeling like she was getting sick but she kept up her vitamins,eating throughout the busyness,staying hydrated, and ate Airborne tablets. She never did get fully sick which is a great thing because the ending of this show spills right into the super busyness of extra Oliver rehearsals. 
Anyway, the boys went to the closing show & Todd was "volunteered" by me to videotape the two shows he attended because that has now become a parent job. Usually I did box office. If no one signed up for it then we'd have no video to buy. So he used Moezart's camera at the back of the venue to record all the big scenes where there are lots of people in the scene (there were 39 cast members) and he borrowed the director's camera to record close up scenes of just a few people. Now he gets to mesh them together.  
Now she's down to one show up has a rehearsal almost every day for the rest of May and 8 shows in June. 
My next post would be a picture or two from Joshua's 13th b-day as we planned to see Captain America Civil War and then go out to eat BUT he caught whatever Hannah felt like she was coming down with so I didn't force him to have his picture taken on his b-day. He was fine on Monday night but Tuesday morning he woke up sick. He was tired, warm, and felt like he was getting a sore throat. He still wanted to see the movie so we went but he needed to take a rest on a bench outside a theater before continuing on to our theater. Sad. He wouldn't eat popcorn so you know he's not well. On a side note, seeing a movie at 1:10 on a Tuesday afternoon during school hours is wonderful-except for the sick part. We postponed dinner until he can enjoy it. We probably owe him another cake too. But by Wednesday he felt fine & is back to normal (whatever that is around here). Good thing we went to Knott's in April!
