Fact of the Week

Fact of the Week: Who Was the First Female Actor? Margaret Hughes may have been the first professional actress in England. The occasion of her first performance was on 8 December 1660, in a production of Shakespeare's play Othello, when she played the role of Desdemona in a production by Thomas Killigrew's new King's Company at their Vere Street theatre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hughes

Carnival 2009!

Mountain Shadows carnival time is here again! I can't believe it has been a year already. Luckily the weather cooperated and the kids were able to have a nice time. Here is Tim takin' on the rock climbing wall.
Here is the fearsome dinosaur obstacle course! (Tim is REALLY more thrilled than he looks!) Here is Topher inside the Dino course. By this time, Tim was off with his friends. He is getting so grown up!
It is hard to see him, but he just came down the slide underneath the Rex. He had a blast on this one! This is the big "Jaws" slide, the tallest one there. Toph is loving it!
No carnival would be complete without a romp in the batman jump. Topher was doing flips in this one, giving him mom more gray hair!!
After batman, we decided to go and play some games. Topher just won at the tic-tac-toe game. He won a twirly toy of some sort! Here is the ring toss where he won some freaky green vampire teeth!
Here is an action shot of him shooting hoops. My camera sucks (or maybe I suck, or both!) so it is a little blurry. I think I know what to ask Santa for this year! This is the ride he liked the most. It is a pirate obstacle course. Probably because it had the shortest line, the kid working it actually knew what he was doing. He must have gone on this a hundred times. He would jump down the slide and everytime I thought "This is it, we're going to the ER!" I love this carnival, it is always a blast. Unfortunately the boys trip fell on this weekend too, so Tim and Toph had to choose between the two. Maybe it will be better weather next year and they will choose the boys trip. I am sure Terry will have a relaxing weekend! I don't know what I will do with myself if they go to the boys trip and I don't have the carnival! (Oh, wait, I am sure I can find something!)

Looks fun! It was probably nice that it wasn't so hot. But I would much rather the heat then all this rain!!!

You're a good mom - we've boycotted the carnival the past couple of years...we're too cheap. Looks like fun, though - maybe next year!
