The Fun of a Weekend

Friday night, Katelyn, Chelsea and I went to see the play - The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien.
Chelsea's school was putting it on. We all love Lord of the Rings so we were quite excited about seeing this production and how they would do it. We were not disappointed. Here is a picture of Bilbo Baggins - the Hobbit-, Gandalf the Wizard and some of the dwarfs.















This is one of the goblins. Didn't they do a great job on his makeup?













Here are the elves, capturing the dwarfs.










The elves, resting at rehearsals.













They also had Smaug, the dragon and Gollum, who was looking for "precious". What a ton of work but well worth it. The only problem they faced was that Hobbits and dwarfs are are short little creatures. We were told to just assume that these were "dutch dwarfs"!
While the 3 of us were enjoying the play, Shaelyn and Dave were out together too. They had a daddy-daughter bowling night from her school. They got to bowl 2 games and eat hotdogs. They had a lot of fun too. There were lots of different bowling tricks to try in the second game. I was told that she "beat" one of the games.
