This summer, Eleanor and Jane both did a theater camp together for a month. The camp, called Stage Lights, put on a production of SpongeBob Jr. Eleanor and Jane were both in the ensemble:

Us getting ready to watch the production for the first time!
This was Jane's first production and her theater debut! She doesn't know yet if she wants to try out for the middle school play this year or if this will be her only stage production:
They both did such a great job!
I'm certain Eleanor will do theater this coming year, but she had a good time this summer in this shorter production.
Eleanor with friends from school productions:
Rosie with stacks of money from the money song! Eleanor and Jane came through and threw money into the crowds!
Small group friends:
Family and cousins!
Jane post show. She was very less than thrilled that stage make up is required.
Overall it was a good experience!
After the show the kids went to Sweet Frog every night:
The Musical Swings came to Williamsburg recently. They were here for about a month or two and we finally took an afternoon to go check them out. They were very fun!
Each swing played a note and when you swung together, it created lovely sounds. The higher you swung (to an extent) the higher the pitch.
If you were able to swing simultaneously at the same pace, you unlocked melodies. It was very fun to attempt!
The kids were reluctant to go, but then didn't want to leave.
I was incredibly impressed by this cool installation and was so glad we had the opportunity to go.
