Performances

 We need culture!  And this summer was great for it.  Salado Legends an outdoor musical that my family was a part of while I was in HS had a 20 year reunion and the family went, enjoyed hot dogs and the story of the history of Salado.  The girls got tired (and weren't too fond of the gun shot) so my Mom took them home at intermission.

 Back in Austin, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, there was a tribute for her birthday and the Singing Zoologist was there to perform!  Lydia is normally reserved in group settings but I have been proud of her this summer.  When he asked kids to come dance, she at first said she didn't want to, but then in the second verse she headed down, with Gloria right behind-you can see the tops of their heads here.

 It was the first time for Caleb to hear him and they even got to chat a bit about science and education.

 The hills are alive....with the Sound of Music at the Zilker Hillside Theater.  Mom drove down to go with me and Lydia (and Abby & Sherri too) to see the Sound of Music.  It was CROWDED!  But all enjoyed.  Lydia sat and watched very focused.  We got a seat right on the bottom of the hill and several people fell down where we were sitting.  It wasn't comfortable but the show was wonderful and the cast very talented.  After the show, walking out, driving out and being diverted by road construction we arrived home at 12:12-that's a summer night!
