Vacation Bible School

You need safety glasses for VBS?! Well, you did this year at the Methodist Church's VBS in Arroyo Grande. They used a curriculum call SonSpark Labs. Papa Jamie took Serafina, Matteo, and AJ. It was pretty cool. All the pics start here: http://worshipweekly.com/150724.html

Book Nook

Jonathan felt like Lexi needed some books to read. ‪#‎babynumber7‬ (Tracy)

Business Rail Excursion to Portland

Lynn and Jamie returned today from a Santa Maria Valley Railroad business excursion to Portland, Oregon. Great way to travel, and a good way to get people out of the office to do a little bigger picture thinking. All the photos: http://JF2.com/150709/

The Drama in My Life Comes with an Intermission

PCPA's Acting Camp
Young People's Project, YPP Jr. (9-12 years old)
June 28 - July 4, 2015

"If you need drama in your life, make it live theatre."

The YPP and YPP Jr. are week-long acting intensives with classes in music, dance, and workshops that culminate in a showcase performance. The photos below are from the Showcase and the reception that followed.

Such drama. Good thing Matteo's used to it.

See ya next year!

Chad (left) is currently in PCPA's "My Fair Lady".
The group saw the show in Solvang last week, and
some of the actors came to YPP Jr.,
including Chad, for a talk-back session.

Lexi's Dedication at GraceSLO

Lexi was dedicated at the 11am service at GraceSLO this morning. We had just about enough time to follow that with the church photographer, get the two thespians to the closing show of The Music Man, and the rest of the clan prepare for the cast party at The Compound tonight. Big day!

Sharks!

Matteo and I attended a "Science After Dark" session on sharks at the SLO Children's Museum last night. It's a program of http://CCSTEM.org (I help with their website). More photos: http://JF2.com/150610/

AJ's Next Fave

He went from Robot Turtles (fun "coding" game) to Monopoly. Of course, we don't abide by all the rules. He loves moving the pieces around and handling money. I like watching him add up the dice. He's surprisingly good at one-to-one correspondence in moving his piece from square to square.

Gratifying

It's tremendously gratifying to have some of your work (in this case, photos) actually get used for something pretty special. In this case, the advertising materials for the SLO Little Theatre's 2015-2016 season. The SLOLT does a great job with their hundreds of volunteers!

Welcome to the Compound, Lexi! Look for photos all over the place, especially Facebook. Here's a first batch: http://JF2.com/150530/

Atascadero Zoo

It had been quite a while since we ventured forth to the Atascadero Zoo. It's small, but quite compelling. All the photos: http://JF2.com/150525/

Nipomo Twins Birthday

We celebrated Hannah's and William's birthday at Madonna Inn this morning! All the photos: http://JF2.com/150523/

Oceano Airport Day

There was much going on today: Tracy's baby shower, Serafina's filming gig, Alice in Wonderland Jr that night, and a little recovery time from a grueling Music Man schedule. And still, the boys managed to squeeze in a visit to Oceano Airport Day. All the photos: http://JF2.com/150509b/

Cal Poly Filming

Once again the SLO Little Theatre hooked Serafina up with some Cal Poly students doing a film project and needing two child actors. She and Drew (a young actor friend of hers from the Little Theatre) showed up at a sorority house in SLO for filming. Their scene in the film is a flashback to a moment when the lead female has a near-drowning incident at the family home as a child. Her older brother is part to blame and part rescuer.

A few more pics. Thanks to Pam!

This is definitely one of my favorite parts of doing the show - physical warm-ups. Shaley leads us through 5 minutes or so of movement (something between dance and calisthenics). It's great fun and I'm raring to go when we're done. Thanks for the pic, Pam Hester!

We're a smidge over a week from opening. Tech week begins in a couple days. Final touches are being applied to movement and character. It's quite exciting...
