A few pictures from the past week: live shows and more fun

We will be in and out of town for the next few weeks, and I intend to surgically remove myself from my computer for a while, so I may not get to post again for a bit.

For now, here are just a few fun pictures from the past week.

Projects were worked on (raised garden beds! yeah!), playdates were had, make-up classes were attended... and even some dancing in the rain.



My daughter, at least, ended up doing three outdoor shows in three days over the weekend. The rest of the family only did two. If anyone else tells me that there is nothing to do in this area I'll have to check their eyes and ears for functioning. Spring, Summer, and Fall there are things going on every weekend. Sometimes more than one in a day.

The first night my daughter went with a friend to a Sing-a-Long showing of the Sound of Music. Attendees got dressed up, picnicked, had a sing-a-long and heckled the movie like they do for The Rocky Horror Picture Show... though it wasn't exactly like that... it was a lot cleaner... at least I hope it was.:)


The second night a friend lured us to the North Carolina Symphony Concert at our local amphitheater for another wonderful evening of hanging out with friends, eating good food and listening to good music.



The third night was a funky evening of World Music at the North Carolina Museum of Art. "Afrocubism" was the theme. It was a mix of Malian and Cuban artists, and there was definitely some dancing and a little card playing going on.


Of course we are just sampling some of the wonderful stuff going on while we can fit it in. Just in case you live in the area and haven't checked out the various live entertainment venues, here's a list of links to get you started:

Koka Booth Ampitheatre Events (including all the Summerfest Symphony events)
North Carolina Museum of Art Summer Events

This is just a short list of a few of the things I know about. Feel free to add to the list if you live in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Of course, anywhere you go opportunities abound. You just have to go out and find them!
