"Fiddler on the Roof"

Do you see the theme of this summer---musicals!  And on Friday, July 19th, Gary and I headed to Logan with Gary's mom and his three sisters and their spouses.  We stayed at the same hotel we (the girls) had stayed last year and were able to walk to the Utah Opera House to see "Fiddler on the Roof" with Michal Ballem (a famous opera singer who now runs this opera house.  We have traveled with him on cruise and love to hear him sing.)  It was a great show and we enjoyed being together.  We ate at some nice places including Maddox in Perry on the way to Logan on Friday night.  We played games that night, had a slow morning on Saturday and went to the matinee of the play at 1:00. ate dinner at the Beehive Grill and then headed home.  A quick trip with no pictures, but a sweet time being together and a great memory.  (And don't remind Jena we didn't take her.  She loves plays and "Fiddler on the Roof" is a favorite.  But how many plays do we really need to see in three weeks!)

We appreciate our older kids who all took a turn hanging out with Jena.  Ben covered both afternoons, Jessica and Elessia spent the night, Tosha had the morning, and Scott took her to the movies.  Fun time for her as well.  The kids texted me pictures but I don't know how to take them from my phone text to my computer blog.  Jessica said she could teach me sometime so perhaps I will add them later.

We are home for now.  We might still try to add a few quick trips with the RV to the mountains but nothing set at the moment.  Maybe the painting can really begin in Jena's room (if I would ever catch up with this blog.)
