Our dear friend Holley invited Samantha to see the play, My Fairytale, at the Solvang Festival Theater. This was her first LIVE play and she was so excited to go!
Before the show they stopped and had dinner at Hadsten House in Solvang.
Grape juice???
Ready for the show!
Unfortunately, the play wasn't exactly a fairytale for children or really a fairytale at all. There was a short scene with the Little Mermaid but that quickly changed to a man getting picked apart by birds chanting, "I'm going to peck your eyes out and kill you," which was apparently tame compared to some of the other "un-fairytale-ish" scenes. Some play, huh?
They ended up leaving the play and instead enjoyed some hot cocoa together at the concession area. Samantha was all smiles when they got home. I think she was more excited to do something special with Holley and stay out late. I think Holley may have been more traumatized than Samantha.
Thanks Holley for taking Sam! Even though the play didn't turn out how you thought it would, she (and we) are ready for you to take her on her next adventure - Rated G next time ;)
At one point, Samantha kept asking Holley, "Are they going to get us?" and Holley thought she was saying "Are they going to get out?" So, Holley kept saying "YES, YES!" Poor Samantha was so frightened thinking the actors on stage were going to get her. And poor Holley, she thought she was taking little Samantha on a special date to her first "Disney-ish" play.

That is just so cute that Holley took Sam on a special date. It turned into quite a funny story. I hope poor Sammy doesn't have any nightmares at home!
what you omitted was the fact that: i made her lie about her age b/c the age min. was 5, she ate a plate of butter and salt with a loaf of bread, and had excellent memory recall that i promised we'd stop and see the ostrich farm on the way home (at 10 pm). but i too am looking for another "girl's night out!" which hopefully doesn't involve men being burned at the stake or very angry birds who want to peck our eyes out.
