NYC, FINALLY!

After 25 long pandemic months, we finally got to take our girls trip to NYC. And what a time we had! Our flight started off as a bit of a fiasco. It kept getting bumped further and further back. Southwest had cancelled like 1000 flights over the weekend, so I was not feeling very hopeful.…

Play-in-a-Day

Play-in-a-Day was a blast this year.  Courtney came up with the genius theme of Harry Potter and then we all brainstormed for gospel tie ins.  Halle was at tech week for Fiddler on the Roof, and I couldn’t convince Josh to come.  So I was there all day without my kids 🙂 We had a…

Cursed Child

Halle here: On Sunday we went and saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was a super cool show, and the multiple parts made the excitement last all day. The special effects were so cool, and it was just like being back at Hogwarts. We watched part 1, which ended with dementors falling from…

Harry Potter Halloween

AND….the greatest part of this year was that the kids carved their own pumpkins!  Blake did…

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

We solemnly swear the weather’s up to no good! It was 5 degrees warmer in Boulder than in Orlando today.  But, we decided that the rain and dreariness added to the ambiance of England 🙂 We spent a perfect Day at Universal Studios.  By staying at Cabana Bay, one of Universal’s hotels, we were granted…
