To begin, husband and I catch an early showing of The Great Gatsby that could have used more practice for its interesting but not necessarily acclaimed treatment of a classic.
When we go to school to pick up girls, we see the end of the school play practice featuring older granddaughter, and younger granddaughter is watching with friends. Our performer wears pink shirt on left in first photo. .
Main performance of play is Wednesday evening at 6:00, one of several reasons we are visiting this week. School is partnering with the city's children's theatre to produce the play, and children benefit from professional staff and experience. Both granddaughters have attended summer drama camps and are happy both on a stage and in an audience.
Final practice of the day is softball. With us and all the equipment loaded in the car and on the way, daughter receives message that practice has been cancelled due to very wet fields. Undaunted, we continue to the ballpark complex to create our own family practice, hoping to avoiding the puddles. The six of us manage a spirited game and are joined by a teammate and her dad who failed to get the cancellation message. The outdoor activity is just what we need, and during the night the rains begin again.
