when we got there, we were a little surprised to find that it was actually a puppet show! but not like sock puppets or anything like that...and not a silly little marionette stage like julie andrews used in the sound of music...they were rod puppets (czech with some japonese elements) it was great. and since the kids were expecting a live performance, we hyped it up by explaining how lucky we were that we got to see puppets because we NEVER get to see puppets!

| these are the puppeteers! |

| thank goodness the haze was non-toxic! that was the first concern i had when the smoke began... |
1. young king arthur resembles shawn cassidy.
2. the puppets seemed to side step a lot (which means they'd be good at country line dancing).
3. apparently king arthur and merlin started out in dallas and then made their way to london because merlin told arthur to go up over the grassy knoll.
4. baby dragons sound a lot like real babies gurgling and playing with bruno's squeaky toy.
5. blimey is a word i want to begin working into my vocabulary.
on the way home i decided to stop and get some biscoff to make fudge for shannon and the other office ladies, and while i was at world market, i also found the cutest little shortbread cookies, so i called bruno and chaco and they said i absolutely should get them and say that it was their idea...so i did (because i recall around Christmastime she had said that she loves shortbread cookies).
