Last night was the final performance of the Madrigal Dinner, and it was very special to see the kids and also King Drew! They put in many hours of rehearsal and preparation for the event, and it was great to see a full house of about 200 people despite the freezing rain and ice!
The after-show cast party was held at our neighbors, so it was great that Drew was not on the road ... but we also didn't want the other kids on the road, so we invited all of the boys to stay at our house overnight and the girls stayed with our neighbors. It was a late night for them and they had lots of fun ... and there were bodies strewn everywhere in our house this morning, kids on couches and couch cushions on the floor for makeshift beds ... but a good time had by all. Their cars were pretty icy and several had to work at even getting their doors open, but Mitch helped them with the window scraping and all were on their way home safely by about 10am.
I can't believe this was Drew's last high school production ... it has been wonderful to watch him in various events over the years, and I will miss that part of having a high school student in the house!
