Two Sundays ago, Brad and the Southern California Mormon Choir sang with about 500 other adults and children from other denominations in Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles. Mack Wilberg, the arranger and conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (or as they are known "America's Choir"), came down from Salt Lake City and conducted the different choirs in the cathedral. It was a wonderful concert and once again proved that music brings people together. The cathedral is amazing inside - huge tapestries from Belgium grace the walls and the windows are all alabaster.
Several days later, Meg and the two kids and I went to Disneyland for a few hours. Gavin hadn't been on Thunder Mountain so that was the first ride that we went on. After he got off of the ride, he said he liked it - but didn't want to go again. . .so we really wonder how much he liked it.
Megan and Gavin drove the Autopia cars - while Coco and I tried to keep them from bumping into us.
We always go to Small World because it is Coco's favorite ride.
Gavin decided to try his hand at pulling the sword out of the stone. . .and it didn't come out.
We ran into Cinderella's Fairy Godmother and she posed with us for a picture.
Another favorite is going through Sleeping Beauty's castle. . .Gavin got a foam rubber sword and he said that he was going to slay the dragon.
Friday night, in our series of field trips, we headed out to Redlands to see nephew, Nicholas, performing in the musical "The Princess and the Pigs." Nicholas played neither the princess nor one of the pigs. We started out the evening with dinner at Chipotle, eating outside in the warm weather.
Nicholas played the part of the herald in the musical. All of the lyrics and music are the original work of a very talented local musical producer. The costumes and sets were very professional. Nicholas did a great job, and was very animated - and he projected extremely well in the playhouse (which looks like it seats about 200, and is a converted church). It really was a very good play and we look forward to going to other plays out there.
Nicholas is pictured here with one of the five pigs - very cute, original story that had a great message in it.

The choir performance sounds great - did they publicize it much?
