A bit of culture

Jocelyn loves going to plays.  We took her to her first one probably a year and a half ago - we went to see Dora at the Eau Claire Children's Theatre.  Since then we've been to a few more, and she really enjoys them.  Which is great, because we love them too!  For her birthday we got her tickets to 6 shows.  They have a ton of good ones this year in Eau Claire - I had a hard time choosing which ones to see.  They always put on a great show. 
 
Last weekend when we were home we got to go to another one!  Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse was playing in Hopkins.  She has the book and likes it, so I knew she'd enjoy the play too.  They did a wonderful production - those kids just amaze me with the talents they have.  We got to meet the cast afterwards, and they were all so cute and polite.

  A week before that, we went to see Pinkalicious in Eau Claire.  I had gotten the book in her book order, and was going to give it to her for her birthday, but we had to break it out before that.  She'd heard of it, but hadn't read the book.  She loved the book and couldn't wait to see the play!  It was a musical, which she likes even more than a play - holds her attention better.
 She brought her book, and Pinkalicious autographed it!  That took a little explaining, but she now thinks it's pretty neat.  3 characters signed her Lilly book, so she's getting the hang of it.
 Our friends Anna and Abby met us at the play too - all 3 girls in their cute pink outfits!
