A busy, fun weekend!
Claire and I spent Friday night sleeping with the animals at the Zoo Snooze at the Duluth zoo. We enjoyed the wild, fun night with her girl scout troop. We slept at the zoo and went on a hike at midnight observing the animals in the dark. We couldn't bring flashlights so all I concentrated on was trying not to trip and fall. Thankfully, we all survived the night!
Brett took Charlie and Greta to the Children's museum while I had a mom day with Claire. They loved petting the snake, playing with the bubbles and singing along with Shrek. It was a fun day spent with daddy!!!!
On Sunday while Brett was at the museum, Claire and I had the wonderful opportunity to see the Phantom of the Opera play at the Orpheum. Claire has loved this play since she was four years old (I know, so cultured for her age!). I took Brett to see the play when I was pregnant with Charlie and Claire fell in love with the music from the soundtrack. When the movie came to theaters a few years back, Claire insisted that she see it. She loved the movie and it is still one of her favorites! I always promised her that I would take her when the play came back to Minnesota. She was quick to point out the commercials for the play on TV, but I played dumb by telling her the tickets were too expensive. OK, I told a little fib, but I wanted the day to be a surprise!! She was so surprised when Brett dropped us off in front of the Orpheum under the marquis that read "The Phantom of the Opera". She squealed in delight and now she new why she had to wear a dress to the "museum" when Greta and Charlie did not. The show was awesome and Claire loved it! What a wonderfully crazy weekend!
