Dinosaurs Before Dark
February 26, 27, & 28
Matisyn and Emilyn were in their third play at the city arts center. They had so much fun in this dinosaur magic treehouse adventure. They had four performances. Matisyn got a pretty big part as Natty the dinosaur. She had quite a few lines, a solo, some small group singing, and some fun time on stage. She was expressive, and bright, and so much fun to watch. Emilyn was a sapling, a baby tree. She had some speaking parts, and was part of the choir. She got to be on stage almost the whole play. She really came out of her shell, and delivered her lines with so much excitement. I get so much joy from watching them perform.
Grandma Karen was kind enough to fly in for the weekend to watch them perform. They were over the moon to have her here, and for her to be at their play. She flew in Friday, and as our luck would have it Emilyn started to feel sick that afternoon. She pushed through to do the play that night, but was pretty under the weather. Saturday they had two performances, a matinee, and an evening, and a pizza party in between. She rested all morning, and felt a lot better for the next shows. Matisyn ended up sick the next day. I was just happy we made it through all three nights with both girls being able to perform. They did a fantastic job. The first night Matt, Lucas and I went, the second, I went with both Grandma Barb and Grandma Karen, and then the third night Matt, Lucas, Grandma Karen, and I watched. We didn't go to the matinee, but it was attended by one of Matisyn's teachers, which was so amazing of her, and also some of our good friends, Ashly and Lillie came too! One of the big bonuses for Matisyn this time was that her buddy Porter was in the play too. He had the lead as Jack, and did an amazing job with it! The girls felt well loved and appreciated, and had another great performance experience!
