After blueberry picking, we headed back to HAKT’s for a game of “Small World” and dinner. The kids put on the most amazing pre-dinner show, too! They did their costumes, scripts and even made up their own songs!!!!
Cameron looked adorable in her costume (a fairy dress T.’s anyam made for her). She was originally part of the cast, but Fluma, the neighbor’s cat, freaked her out too much and she had to come inside!
I hope she will always be a fairy, or what-have-you, in practical shoes!
Ok. I was so impressed that Dylan made this scroll out of little creamer cups (for the roll-y part) and scrap paper!! He “read” from it, too–pure improv, I believe!
I was berated for taking pics during their rehearsals, but I was allowed to take unlimited photos during the show!
They started out with a very lively song–with stamping their feet on the table and everything! Assaf videotaped it, so I hope he will post it so I can share it here!
I wish I knew what was happening here!!
Part of the performance involved a lesson on how to make a “stand still” potion (whoever steps into the area where potion is poured freezes! The kids even demo’d the effects).
They had those little black cauldrons all prepped with the ingredients measured out…although they had to use a surpringly large amount of water in the end!
K. was apparently the designated assistant who would fetch whatever ingredients were still needed.
What’s in there? Wood chips, flowers, water…and real snap peas from HAKT’s amazing garden box (what a shame!)!
…And we were reminded that you can also just curtsy! I forgot to mention, too, that they had a magic show warm-up where stuffed animals were pulled out of hats and such! Also, lots of good riddles were shared. My favorite: what do poor people have, rich people need and if you eat it you will die? Dylan also told another good one: you’re in a room with a table and no windows or doors. How do you get out?
We’re really enjoying the riddles as is Dylan! I’m thinking I need to come up with some new ones for him !
We had another late night at the end of a very active week (Dylan went to Neary Lagoon, Dennis the Menace Park, and the Natural History Museum with camp; the girls did another round of gymnastics), but it’s summer, right?!
