Willy Wonka

Mer enjoyed participating in Breton Downs production of Willy Wonka, Jr - very similar to the plot of the Gene Wilder movie of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" aka Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."  She starred as one of the "Candy Man Kids" in the second grade chorus.  There were 205 kids from her elementary school that participated in this play - three performances!  Well done.  We celebrated afterwards by enjoying the first Jersey Junction cone of the spring / summer season.

Circus

Two weeks ago, we went to the Shrine Circus in Grand Rapids.  Wow, what a show!  The kids really enjoyed the acrobats, animals, face painting (Mer is a panda), light sabers, popcorn, and all of the fun the circus had to offer.
