November 2021 Part 2: The Plays' the Thing

We really channeled our culture side and attended so many plays in November. First up was Heather's high school production of Matilda. This was a really fun one. We had just listened to the audiobook on our Oregon road trip, so it was fun to see the story told visually. They even served Bruce's chocolate cake during intermission, which was a fun bonus! 
After the play, the kids were really excited to meet the girl that played Matilda and take a picture with her. 


And of course, we got to take pictures with our favorite actress in the play, Heather. 




After the play, I made Sarah play in the leaves with me! 

Mom, Taryn, Aaron, Brian, Michael, Rachel, Gabe, and I took Chelsea's kids out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. David and the rest of Taryn's kids joined us there. The wait was longer than expected, so we played Head's Up in the parking lot. Finally, we were able to eat. 


Since it was within a week of Taryn's birthday, we had the staff come sing to her. She was surprised that we did that. 




After finishing dinner, we headed home. 

A weekish later, Brian and I went to go see Lone Peak High School's production of Les Miserables. One of my young women was in the stage crew, and so we went with my teaching partner and her husband to show our support. 
The next day, we took the kids to The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Hale Center Theater in Orem. We were supposed to go with Kirt and Julie, but they forgot to put it into their calendar back when we bought tickets in June and didn't make it. 

The kids didn't love this one, but I did. It was a little deep for them to follow everything that was going on. The music was amazing! 

The following Monday, we were supposed to go to another play for Serene's birthday, but she ended up getting pretty sick, so we rescheduled for December.
