Peter & The Wolf

A couple of weeks ago, we were invited by our dear friend, Jenny Trees, who plays the oboe with the L.A. Junior Philharmonic, to go to a performance of "Peter & The Wolf." Since Addie already knows the music, and loves "Ms. Trees" we thought it would be a lot of fun to take the kids! We had SUCH a great time!
Here's Addie and Greg, all dressed up and ready to go!
And Scott and I too!


It was a great opportunity to take the kids to something "cultural," especially since it was an afternoon performance, and they could nap in the car on the way there. Greg and I were excited too, not just for the good music, but because the narration of the story was performed by none other than Dick Van Dyke!
Here's Jenny and the man himself.


During the concert the orchestra not only played "Peter and the Wolf," but also a medly of songs from "The Music Man," and a medly from "Mary Poppins."
AND- to really tickle me pink, during "Supercalifragilistic..." 'ol Burt himself came out on stage dancing! 84 years old and he could still cut a rug like no one else! What a treat to see it! I was in heaven!

We were so delighted to have gone; since hving the kiddos we don't get out as much for concerts and theater and the like. Now not only did we get to go, but the kids got to experience it as well. Thank you Jenny for bringing some culture back to our lives!
