Halloween

Logan and I went to a Halloween party and we decided to dress up as Zombie Hunters!

Logan thought this mullet would be a good touch.

We bought fake blood and Logan put a hand print of it on my face.

Good Morning, Baltimore!

Last weekend, Logan and I went out to the Pier and Downtown Baltimore. It was such a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun sight seeing. 

Love the leaves changing!

 Outside of the American Visionary Art Museum. This was a tree decorated with bits of mirror and glass. 

I know, we are so cute! :)

American Visionary Art Museum!

I got photo bombed by Logan. 

My pose...

....and Logan's pose. 

Giraffe is my favorite animal! 

Huge cello made out of pieces of metal and brass parts. It was so awesome!

I tried to get a good view of this...it says, "O Say Can You See."

You were not allowed to take pictures of the inside but it was awesome. All of the art work was made from a collection of different things; glass, metal, sea shells, and other random things. Pretty cool!

Walking to the Pier.

Downtown Baltimore.

We didn't get to go on this old war ship, but it looked cool anyhow. 

I was hoping the random guy that took our picture would get the cool Pirate ship in the background...thanks for nothing random guy!

This is the ship....it would've made an awesome background!

We saw a little park on the way that had different sculptures and this xylophone set that any one could come up and play. It was awesome! 

This was the ground of the park...it had different pieces of brick that had different homonyms on them. 

It was named Pierce's Park after a local business owner Pierce Flanigan III.

We really wanted to revisit an area near downtown that we have been before when we first lived in Maryland. It is called Fells Point and has a lot of cool little shops, eateries and pubs. We have never been in day time, so it was nice to see it all. This is the Witches Pub.

 Walking back to our car. It was a long walk to and from Fell's Point, but it was good for us to walk off the food and beer. 

Our journey ends! 

DIY Project

Hopefully this is the last DIY project I do for awhile! It did turn out pretty well though. I bought a cheap frame from hobby lobby and some small clips to hold the pictures on rope. Its a good addition to the apartment!

Opera Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee

Last weekend I went to Memphis to see Logan perform all over Memphis in his gig he got for 5 weeks. The program was called 30 days of Opera and it was put on and funded by Opera Memphis. It was an awesome program that put on different recitals and concerts throughout Memphis and the surrounding area for free. It was a chance for the public to get a taste of opera and hopefully come and support Opera Memphis when they begin the Main stage productions. 

These shots are from a World Premiere of the Children's Opera "The Playground King." The first opera ever to be set on a Playground...it was awesome! The four of these performers were singing opera and running and playing on a playground. 

Our good friend Joel, the baritone, playing the role of the Playground King. The baritone is always the bad guy! 

Logan and Caitlin, tenor and mezzo soprano, playing two kids trying to get the playground king to let them play in the fort. Logan was suppose to be the nerdy kid who told everyone the rules of the playground. 

Here is Logan with the rules and proudly singing them!

Caitlin, Logan and Maria (soprano) singing about their plan to get the playground king to come down from his fort and play with them!

They decided to play knights; Logan was a Jedi Knight and Maria was the knee pad knight, haha!

The playground king came down from his fort!

I love this shot...im pretty sure they are all really laughing! Its a pretty comical children's opera.

Climbing up to the fort...Logan's character was suppose to fall through the ropes...he did that very well! So well, that his microphone pack fell out and he landed on it. There is speculation on whether or not he broke it. :)

Splat goes the microphone!

To quote Logan, "The falling down was easy...it was the getting back up that sucked!"

Way to stay committed to the role! PS~ he is wearing a transformers shirt!

Moral of the opera; everyone should be allowed to play on the fort. Sharing is caring!

The End!

Here is a video clip from the show:

On the town in Memphis:

We went to an Irish Pub called, 'The Brass Door' that had a Hip-Hop artist perform a rap of the story to the opera La Boheme. It was awesome!!

They had awesome food...and beer!

Not sure why I took this picture...probably an affect of the alcohol. 

Last day of my trip they were all singing in a library and I got a video of this beautiful quartet called "Some Other Time" from On the Town.
