A wonderful highlight of this trip Up North was seeing our 10-year-old granddaughter, Addie, play Annie in "Annie," at the American Fork Amphitheater.
Her notes she sang were right on pitch, which is difficult to do for anyone, much less a ten year old, with the interval-jumping score of this show. Her acting felt genuine, like she really was Annie on that stage, and her dance moves were darling! No prejudice here, but this little gal really is a Triple Threat!
We had great seats with her sister, Fiona, and her brother, Charlie.

"Annie" had great control of "Sandy" throughout.
The cast did an admirable job and the scenery and props were excellent.

As in my last post, I was unable to put the video in this blog. The video of Addie singing, "Tomorrow," can be found on my latest post on my Facebook account.
Grandma Pam and Grandpa Roger were so proud of Addie!
Aunt Susie and Aunt Chyrrl also drove from Ogden to see Addie in "Annie."
We stayed with Rick after Josh and Jaylene's wedding, then drove to Ogden each morning to be with Lois for four days.
Each day she was excited to go to lunch.
Here she is at her favorite lunch spot, Chuck-A-Rama.
Lois loves to snuggle up close to Roger as he shows her our photos and videos on his laptop.
Chyrrl and Glynn met us for lunch at Outback Steak House for their yummy wedge salad, coconut shrimp and a bloomin' onion.
A friend told us to try a family-run Mexican restaurant in Farr West, Bella's Fresh Mexican Grill. Lois doesn't like Mexican food and has maybe been to a Mexican restaurant once or twice in her 95-year life, but she agreed to go here and she liked her chicken-filled quesadilla and the chips and salsa.

Such a great trip Up North and we had another line-up of activities to return for a couple of weeks later!
I am so proud of Addie, too. What a talented, beautiful child.
ReplyDeleteAddie must have been the best Annie she is so talented. I am so glad you were able to go and watch her and it was so nice of Susie and Chyrrl to support her as well. I love the pics with grandma I know she loves when you stay with her. Such tender, special memories you created with her.
