Live Performance

Yesterday we headed off to Memorial Auditorium at Montclair State University to see a performance of The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Having never driven there before and having no idea where to park or where the theatre was made this quite the adventure. We missed the first couple of minutes but we had a nice hike. A little exercise in the bitter cold is good for the soul. The kids really enjoyed it. Although this was the second time B had seen it. I forgot he went on a field trip to see it last year. But, he still enjoyed it since he has since finished reading the book. M loved it as well. The performers did a great job and they kept true to the book.
After the show we went out to lunch with our friends who we had met at the theatre. Lots of fun for the kids. Then when we were driving home I realized the kids had Hebrew School. Thank goodness their backpacks were in the car. They were only a minute late.

Today we are having a snow day. The schools in town are closed and so are we. Although due to the rain it is now more of a slush day.
