Selections from the 3 days of Once Upon a Mattress - A muscial

 

And here we have my cast picture, where am I playing a minor character named Sir Luce

DAY1:

In the Opening scene here, I'm off in the background, holding a halberd. 

Then when the princess shows up, I get covered with some water, and talk to the Prince.

I then got a "big" splash by being the comedic relief, with signs, during the Spanish Panic dance number

I mean someone needed to provide context to the audience of how long it had been going on.

And I get to steal a bunch of laughs from the audience for it all

Off into the next scene, hanging around at the top, after setting up the signs for the next part of the dance.


 And then being a sign holder, for the FRED song.

And the princess finally got to sleep, after the lump bed issues 

And then we all unloaded the stuff we'd placed in the bed, so she could really sleep.

We did it, we survived the first night!

Way to survive Mom, good luck you're coming 2 more times - Ha!

 Same with you Dad!

 [Day2]

 One Hour Later! 

 Three Hours Later!

 

[Day 3]

One Hour Later



 

Three Hours Later!


 FRED Dance number

End of the FRED dance number

Sleeping on the Job :)


 Princess Fred talking about the mattress


 Unloading the stuff in the Mattress


 More unloading

End of the play

And the bowing.

Well Mom, you survived!


 And we're done.


Maple Weekend and Alpacas!

 

It's Maple Weekend!  Time to stock up on Maple syrup, and visit the Alpacas!


 They always do a good job of posing for us


 See just look at them hanging around behind me.

It is a bit sunny facing this way...

I guess that is why Dad always has his sunglasses on

This guy is always so friendly

He likes me, I'm sure

See he even sniffed my hand.

Such a pretty face.

Then a stop for a pancake breakfast up by the lake.

And our last stop, a place to see some Cows, and take a wagon ride

Those cows do look yummy!

Anyone need a Dragon Marshmallow?

Just kidding, we all know that isn't what they are

Well that was a fun day!

Sushi Dinner

 

Nothing like a Sushi Dinner at our favorite place!

School GCC Trip

 

Off we went on a school trip to GCC.  It was fine.

Games and Hamantash

 

I'm getting some gaming in, before I go help with making the Hamantash

It's a tradition to make a bunch following my Dad's Grandmother's recipe.

Yeah those look delicious!

More Games, then an Escape Room

 

Playing some dice games, before we head out later for more adventures


 Always a fun time, playing games in our house.


 Then we got together with our buddies the W's and did an Escape room, which we won!

Lunar Eclipse

 

Do you ever get up at 2:45am on a School Night to go out and see a Lunar Eclipse?


 We did - Watch the flash Dad!

That's better.

It was neat seeing a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse!
