Sound of Music Sing-a-long

Friday night, Philip got some tickets to this Sound of Music sing-a-long. It was at the Hollywood Bowl, which we have never been there before. It is an outdoor amphitheater and you can bring your picnic basket and sit outside and eat and watch. We were able to get box seats, which meant we had a little box with a table and chairs. It was nice to keep Amelia contained and we got some yummy fruit and pitas with hummus. People come dressed up and then they get on stage to show off their costumes, then they are voted for. The winner, a bunch of kids dressed up as the notes from "do ray me", won a cruise, so not too shabby for dressing up. They hand out little cards, edelweiss, a fabric square and a little champagne popper noisemaker for everyone to use in different parts of the movie. Amelia LOVED it. She stayed awake until a little after the intermission. She loved that everyone was singing. She loved holding up her cards. She liked hissing at the baroness and the Nazis and she loved it when everyone held up their cell phones during "Edelweiss". This person has some great pics from last year, but you get the idea of what it was like and the shear beauty and mass of the Hollywood Bowl. We only took 1 pic with Phil's phone that came out. It was one of the greatest things we've done in LA in a long time.
