Get me, I'm blogging again!Yes, we took a field trip. We went to see the thrice Tony nominated "A Year with Frog and Toad" based on the book "Frog and Toad All Year." It was my oldest son's favorite book when he was little. He and my mom would read it every night when she was visiting. She could almost recite it from memory.
I found out there was a production of the play near us and knew my mom would love it. Not such an enthusiastic response from my children. J, being the advanced age of 9, felt the story too young for him, and D dislikes all things new. J asked, "Do I have to go?" to which I replied, "Yes. And you will like it and will show no unenthusiasm around your Grammy!!" When D asked the same question my wise elder son told him the rules.
Cut to the finish, all had a great time even the reluctant ones. It was a wonderful production! They were very faithful to the book, which Grammy appreciated. The big hit of the show was Snail, the "running" gag through the story. Also it was nice to see a story of friendship and devotion. And to make the day even more of a blessing, we got to have lunch with dad.
