We are in a warm, dry spell, with temps sometimes breaking into the 70s. This afternoon I hung out at a nearby park with Kris and Katie. Kris was getting water for our minnows and accidentally caught a little crayfish as well. We saw a number of turtles sunning themselves on a bank of Walnut Creek. Tonight our family participated at the Boar's Head Pageant at St. Albert the Great Catholic Church. It is mix of a medieval festival with elaborate period costumes (Part 1) and the Navity (Part 2) complete with beautiful music provided by a live orchestra and choir. The cast is well over 100 people. Karen was a palace worker and got to carry a kettle of "wine" and the girls and I were a few of many sheperds. We had a few rehearsals this week, which wore us down a little, but at least we did not have any speaking or singing parts. I thought tonight went well and we all thought it was a net positive experience. What I personally liked most about it was dressing up in a costume - we even had makeup dirt smudges. Kris and I tried to do our interpretation of "Bethlehem Gothic" afterward. If we were to be here next year we would probably do it again.
