Evening at the Grotto

This evening we went down to the Grotto with Mik and Michelle to watch the Mark Morris choir sing.  The boys came onto the risers first and I got a picture before the girls showed up.

It is a beautiful setting and the acoustics are great, the camera picked up the singing very well.

This is James during one of the songs!

The rain held off, so we had a good time doing our group photos and visiting with the kids before looking at the lights.

Vera put a grin on everyone's face when she put on James' hat and got into their group picture!

They have a very nice Nativity scene set up.

Right behind the Nativity scene is a cliff, they project images and lights on it.

This is looking down one of the paths, all the bushes and trees are decorated.

This is my favorite area, it looked like a blue river.

After we had dinner at Famous Dave's (Very Good!) we stopped at Kalama so Mik could do some more flood damage repair on the Antique Mall.  The restaurant owner's boy friend had finished installing the wainscot, so Mik was not going to have to put in a long evening.  They are planning on reopening on Saturday.  It was a nice evening, it is relaxing walking around the Grotto looking at all the lights.
