First stop was the Old Town School to see the Nut Tapper.
Okay... first off... a funny story. We were on the bus to the Old Town School... the bus was basically empty... just us and this one guy. So naturally, the one guy caught my eye when he pulls out this wad of metallic Christmas colored pipe cleaners and started making something out of them. I spent the rest of our ride watching him working on his creation and wondering what his story was. Well... when we got off the bus, he got off right behind us.
Well... imagine my surprise when the curtains opened and the first person on stage was none other than the pipe cleaner man from the bus...

The show was so much fun! The kids LOVED it!!! This was the hour long field trip version so I'm sure the full length show is even better.
It is loosely based on the Nutcracker story. Lots of fun music and great dancing.
Here is the Nut Tapper battling with the Mouse King...



Somehow my photos I took of all of the kids together didn't turn out very well, so here's what I have...
Alex peering out from the play area...



The museum was getting ready to close so the kids bundled up to head to our next outing of the day. But first Alex wanted to check out North Pond...

Then we started walking toward the zoo...




We found our way to the main entrance and were the last ones out before they shut and locked the gate.
I took this on our way to the restaurant...

So, that's our crazy day from yesterday!
Okay.... time to get going on Friday now! :-)
