The Tale of Three Trees Musical

Grampy and Daddy attended the service today, to watch Abby and Zoë perform in their first musical production, The Tale of Three Trees.  The Children's day service started off with a few words from Pastor Vivan, and then some presentations.  Kids of certain ages were presented with bibles, which Abby and Zoë each got to receive.  The bibles were different for the different age groups, and the girls really like theirs.  When Abby's name was called, the woman prounounced our last name incorrectly and Abby hesitated to go up and receive her bible, so the ended up just handing it to her.  Zoë hopped right up and went to get hers.

Next it was time for us to go up on stage and perform what we've been practicing and practicing.  Overall, it went well.  There was a moment, when I had to go off stage to act as Mary briefly, that I guess Zoë was not doing exactly as she was supposed to.  So when I got back, as we were singing the next song, Abby kept trying to tattle on her, meanwhile Zoë was complaining of being thirsty and asking for a drink.  Luckily this was all while there were other things going on, so it wasn't too noticeable... at least I don't think it was.  Abby and Zoë were trees just like the other kids, there was also a part where they were 'marching soldiers' with a few other of the younger kids and marched down the center aisle and then lined up on the front of the stage to finish out the song, complete with movements.  When the song was over, we hurriedly switched their hats back into their leaf halos.  The kids all really did do well, and I think it ended up being a very cute show.

After the show, there was a cook-out on the front lawn.  It was a very hot day, it ended up getting up to 100 degrees, so I had packed dresses for Abby and Zoë to change out of their long sleeves and long pants.  I was wishing I had done the same for myself, luckily I had short sleeves and capri's though.  Grampy left a little bit into the cook-out, and then we headed home for some much needed rest as well.
