Willy Wonka Jr. Theater - Nov 12 - 15, 2009






Here's more pictures of the Willy Wonka Show! Enjoy!

Willy Wonka Jr. Theater - Nov 12 - 15, 2009






This was Colette's first theater production with CYT. She was a newsie and a flower dancer. The performance was really professional and the kids did a wonderful job of singing, dancing and acting. We had rehearsals all week from 5 - 9 pm at the theater and then Thursday through Sunday the performances. We had 30 people come and see Colette on Saturday afternoon and she felt like a star when all the girls started asking her for her autograph! I was part of the "souvenir" committee and had to work on 60 bears, which is a CYT tradition. The bears are for all those kids whose parents preorder one as a memento of their theater experience, and then we sell some more at the table on show nights, and I also made about 30 mini oohmpa loompa bears. We are proud of Colette, those long nights and weekends of rehearsals paid off!

Halloween - October 31, 2009






Halloween was celebrated twice, on Friday at school and on Saturday trick-or-treating around a friend's neighborhood. Derek was a "Ninja" on Friday and a pirate on Saturday. Chanti was a pirate and Colette a gypsy.

Pumpkin Picking - October 11, 2009






This was a beautiful day at the Pumpkin Farm in Geneva where the kids picked their own pumpkins for carving and got some fresh vegtables.
