This weekend was a bit of a blur! Friday, we were downtown for Last Fridays, where Issa and her team performed. The location was a last minute call because of some weather, so while the teachers were moving sound equipment the high school team jumped in to lead a stretch:
And rehearse the littles:
I am so impressed by how Monarch has really empowered the older girls to be real leaders, and I love watching them do their thing together:
Saturday, we went to see Hamilton at DPAC:
We were supposed to go in December 2020, and we were so thrilled to finally be able to go! This cast was the best I have seen, and we all loved it! We rushed from there to go to Issa's end of season soiree at the studio! It was a very lovely potluck with superlatives and a killer slide show of the year. It was so wild to watch the studio go from a sign and tap in Stephanie's driveway to a full studio performing for the community.
Sunday, we went into Durham to see the Nasher Art Museum, and these three recreated a part of the film Issa and her team made here last fall:
It was a great museum followed by even better Ethiopian food! We wanted to something new with Aunt Shannon before she flew back to Chicago yesterday, and we will definitely be back!
Yesterday was a weird one in which Brad and I did not work but the kids did. I took Evan to meet the dogs he is dog sitting for a couple weeks this summer, and Issa spent the entire day at her new nannying job!
This is Issa's last week of school, and Evan is down to the last 8 days! We are going to make it!
