Summer

It's been for ever. Forgive me. Here's what we've been up to since I last posted.

Lily was in a show - Greece, the Musical! She played Echo, the cursed nymph. She couldn't speak her own words, just echo the words of others. She was fantastic.


 
Todd painted the set for the play. It was out of this world.

On the front side of the panel was this scene of The Acropolis.

It gets turned around during the show and on the back side is Mt. Olympus. It had lights installed into it and was amazing.



Here is a clip from the show. 

We try to celebrate Joan of Arc's feast day every year. We love Joan. Basically this means we eat yummy french food, say a few french words and watch some frenchish movie. This year it was haricots vertes (roasted green beans), crepes, ham sandwiches on baguette and the movie Chocolat (one of my faves).





We celebrated the 4th of July watching fireworks in Redondo Beach with the director of the film we're in.

I went to a great dinner party with my friend Ranjani and some friends from my dance class. She had this cool Japanese table, which is cute and interesting, but honestly, a little hard to enjoy a meal at...

Visited a nearby botanical garden.


Got to see some cousins

Visited the Cleopatra Exhibit at the Science Center for the 2nd time. Ana took a billion pics of artifacts, but this is my fave. 
 
Todd's kids were here for a while. They rode the train to work with Todd most of the days. The train in Los Angeles is a very interesting adventure! They all seemed to love it, though.



That's not nearly all, but this is all the blogging I can handle for now. More updates later!
