After a morning visit to French Regional Park, Dave, Elizabeth, Joe, and I had our picnic lunch at Riverside Park in Rockford before heading over to the high school to watch Charlotte’s theater class perform The Little Mermaid.
Charlotte was in the chorus, playing an orange squid and, at one point, water. Her costume changes were pretty simple—just a quick swap of headgear twice and adding a skirt once. We all agreed the performance was delightful. The kids genuinely looked like they were having fun on stage. Later, Elizabeth asked Charlotte if she enjoyed the week-long theater camp and the performance. She did! I asked if she’d want to do it again next year—she gave a definite yes.
After the show, we headed over to Megan and Jeremy’s. Elizabeth and I played with Oliver while Dave and Joe helped Jeremy hang a large mirror. Caleb disappeared to play somewhere, and Charlotte relaxed in the living room with Elizabeth, Oliver, and me. Elizabeth got to hear three of Charlotte’s current favorite jokes.
We got home around 6:00 p.m. Elizabeth cooked the Delmonico steaks my brother Jeff had left for Joe and me. I made the salad and baked the potatoes. Dinner was delicious.
Now I’m really dragging and looking forward to going to bed early tonight.
Happy Solstice!
