Sunday Fun!

Sunday's are normally busy days for the us! We start off going to Sunday school then church. After church we go to Cracker Barrel for lunch then serve communion to Mrs. B, who is in one of the assisted living facilities in town. We usually get home by 3:30 pm to rest a while before we run back out to Youth Group and evening services at 6.
Today was a break from our normal, Sunday routine because the girls got to go to a puppet show with their American Heritage Girls group at Wonderment Puppet Theater, downtown Martinsburg. We had a blast! Mr. Santoro performed "Peter Cottontail" and I must say the adults loved it as much as the kids did!!! Michael T did the voice for mother rabbit and Peter. He also did a fantastic job!
This is Michael T with Hannah and Hailee at Chick fil a.



Mr. Santoro did the voices for Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Mr. McGregor. He actually designs and makes ALL of his puppets!
Here he is with mother Rabbit

After the show the girls got to go behind the scenes to see how he does it all.
Of course Hailee wasn't paying much attention because of the Oobie eyes that we got her. She is a stinker! Most of the girls got Oobie eyes. My kids were so excited to see those because they LOVED that show when they were babies. *SNIFF, SNIFF I need a moment. I am verklempt.... Talk amongst yourselves... They are growing up so fast! *

Mr. Santoro showed the girls how to use their Oobie eyes and even did a little skit with some of them and Mr. McGregor.
(Hannah's are the pink ones and Hailee's are the brown ones)
We had such a wonderful time and it was so refreshing to do something different for a change. We are definitely going back to see another show.
