Last weekend, Pam and Fred were very brave and took all four Minnesota grandkids to Orchestra Hall to see the opera, "The Magic Flute." We got a report that all the kids were well-behaved, which is probably overstated but I mostly believe it because they've all had plenty of experience going to concerts and plays. Laura and Karl said the opera was "very long," but Karl talked nonstop about the day so I know they had fun. And Laura had her new updated glasses so she could read the subtitles this time (a little over a year ago, we had gone to a show with projected subtitles, and this poor girl did not have any glasses yet, and couldn't see the words. So sad...).
Cultured cousins: Karl, Laura, Aly, and Emily. Laura went with a "Bohemian Chic" look for the show, so she wouldn't have to wear a fancy dress that requires tights. I think she pulled it off quite nicely!
The kids got to experiment with different instruments before the show. Karl reported to his guitar teacher the next day that he had learned how to play the cello the day before. Well, quite the prodigy, I'd say!
