Ugly Duckling

Yesterday, we attended a "giant puppet show" at the high school, the Ugly Duckling Starring Pinky Flamingo. Ben was very excited about going. Here he is before his bath making his hair lay down "so that it will look good at the puppet show."

Waiting for the play to start. We were a few minutes early because I wasn't sure where we were supposed to park. The auditorium was packed with elementary students, Head Start kids, and day cares.

Mollie was actually more interested than she looks. She liked looking around at all the people. And once the music and dancing started she waved and talked. She did get tired of it about half way through and it took a lot of graham crackers to keep her happy for the rest of the show.

This morning we are making puppets. Ben wanted to do it yesterday but we didn't have time because we had a Maundy Thursday service at church. He's asked me about 50 times why we didn't get to go on the stage.

Here is a video from the puppet company's website if you want to watch a three-minute clip of what we saw: The Ugly Duckling Starring Pinky Flamingo.
