Wordless Wednesday

Chickadee Thursday

On Tuesday, Chickadee got to go to The Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis for the first time!

The reason for the visit? She received tickets to Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live for her birthday!

We had a fantastic time at the show!

When it was over, Chickadee did some of her favorite transformation poses outside…Sailor Moon’s, Sailor Venus’, and Sailor Mars’:

Plus one of Sailor Mercury’s poses:

It was a fun way to celebrate her birthday!

“Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon” The Super Live

Last night, Ryan, Chickadee, and I went to The Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis to see Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live as a late birthday gift for Chickadee!

Chickadee has been counting down the days since she found out on her birthday that we got tickets for the show.

It was her first visit to the Fabulous Fox, and she was very impressed with it (especially the elephants on the carpet!):

I thought it was pretty cool that they had a specific time in the show when it was ok to take photos and videos, which, of course, I did!

Chickadee did some of her favorite Sailor Moon poses after the show, including one of the title character’s most famous poses:

It was a really fun evening!

We’re already hoping another Sailor Moon show comes to St. Louis someday!

The Top Five–Photos of 2020

For my final “Top Five” list of 2020, I’m looking at photos that were taken the few times we actually went somewhere, starting with this wolf we saw at Brookfield Zoo back in January:

One of the last places Bunny and I went was to the Fabulous Fox Theatre to see Riverdance in February:

We took a lovely walk around Creve Coeur Lake in November:

Later that month, we attended Garden Glow at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Because the event started earlier than usual, we had the added bonus of not just seeing beautiful lights, but also a carpet of bright yellow gingko leaves!

When we visited Cahokia Mounds in November, I thought this tree stump was really cool:

It wasn’t hard to choose these pictures, because I just didn’t have many pictures taken away from home from which to choose. But in a way, that made these moments more special, and helped me appreciate the beauty around me in a way I might not have otherwise!

Saturday Afternoon at the Fabulous Fox

Yesterday was a very exciting day, because not only did Bunny and I get to go to the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis for the first time, we got to see Riverdance performed live!

I’ve been a huge fan of Riverdance ever since Ryan introduced me to it…well, over two decades ago, I guess. And Bunny likes it just as much as I do (sadly, I haven’t really been able to get the rest of the Fab Five interested). So when I saw that the 25th anniversary tour was coming to St. Louis, I knew it was something we were going to need to go see.

First of all, the show was amazing. It was very familiar, but there was enough new stuff to make it extra interesting. Being part of the audience was a thrill. Watching the production unfold live on stage is a very different experience than seeing it on TV, and it wasn’t just fun, it was also fascinating.

Now, on to the building. I’ve been past the Fox Theatre many times, but had no idea what the inside looked like. The grandeur, the beauty, the details, the amount of history in the building (we even got to hear the Wurlitzer, a local, but not original to that location, organ, being played before the show!), are really indescribable, so I’ll just let the pictures do the talking:
