A Weekend of excitement

It has been a few days since I have posted anything. I was kind of hoping that someone would put some pictures from this weekend online before I wrote anything about it, but oh well. I'll add pictures later. I did find a few which ill add that are just general from online, but they will give you an idea of what I am talking about.

On Saturday I went to see the first KIDDStuff show of the season: Really Rosie. It was fun to watch and entertaining since it was taking place on the dirty blonde set. then I had my first KIDDStuff rehearsal for Snow White that afternoon. Can you believe it? We started the show with a read through on saturday and had it completely blocked and did a stumble through, mostly without scripts mind you, last night. three days! I have never experienced putting things up so quickly! It is going to be really exciting to get it into the theatre and costumes and everything.

Saturday night there was a party. It was fun but not as spectacular as it was cracked up to be. Some friends and I left early (early being 2AM) and went to grab some food at a 24 hour cafe. when we got back to the dorms, a bunch of people were already back, and they were in the kitchen dancing to Love Shack on the tables and eating popcorn. Priceless. Needless to say I got to bed pretty late.

I slept in late on Sunday, and when I finally got up, everyone was getting ready to leave to go to a waterfall or gorge, so I decided to go too. We ended up going to Taughannock which is down the street from the hangar. We ended up getting into the river/stream thing and walking up it for about a mile to taughannock falls. It was really fun, but I definitely had not been planning on swimming, and of course i ended up falling on my butt on multiple occasions because of the muddy, mossy rocks that we were walking on. My purse fell in the water and everything got soaked, but overall, it was a really fun walk/swim, and it was a beautiful warm day out. Below is a map of the park. We walked from the point on the upper right side to the point in the middle where it says taughannock falls:

When we finally reached the waterfall, it was amazing and breath-taking. It is actually the tallest waterfall i think they said this side of the mississippi. It is taller than niagra falls though not as big. I hope everyone gets a chance to see something like it some time in their life. Here is a picture I found online, but it doesnt do it justice:

After we made it to the waterfall, we took some picters, and then we took the gorge trail back. After a long day of excitement, I went with a few people to get ice cream at Purity which is this cute and delicious corner ice cream shop. Mmmmm!

good times!

Now I am back to a long week of classes and rehearsals. Fun but exhausting! Speaking of rehearsal, I have to go! Bye!
