マディソン絵日記/Madison Iwai Says: This and That.../これにそれ...

Last Saturday the Melton's were able to come over to watch Madison while we went to see Idina Menzel at the Greek Theater!! Which was AMAZING!! To those not so Musical, she is the famous Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba(Elphie) in WICKED and one of the stars from RENT and most recently on GLEE... We absolutely LOVE her and her singing is just amazing!! Anyway, as soon as we found out she will be singing at the famous Greek Theater(really cool outdoor theater) Dave went out and bought tickets for us...the opening act was Marvin Hamlisch conducting the Pasadena Symphony. Apparently Mr. Hamlisch is one of the only people to win an Oscar, Emmy, Tony and Nobel Prize...not too shabby. He played Happy Birthday on the piano as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven...then Idina Menzel came out and had an intimate show where she introduced each one of her sets that included songs from our favorites above mixed in with new stuff. It was a nice setting under the stars. Sorry, this is the best picture we have. It is of one of the big screens they had on the side of the stage...she looks like Shania Twain or something...we weren't that far away, but without the big camera pictures were tough to take, and while Anna wanted to illegally record one of Idina's songs, we thought better of it and just enjoyed, so you'll have to catch her when she comes to an area near you if you want to hear her :-)
先週の土曜日の夜メルトン夫妻にマディソンのお子守りをして貰って僕とアンナはアイディナ-メンゼルと言う歌手/俳優のコンサートに行く事が出来ました!!グリーク劇場と言う所でコンサートが公開されたんだけどこれは有名な屋外の劇場で、やっぱり天気がとってもいいカリフォルニアでしか屋根の無いコンサート会場なんて無いんだろうなー。とにかくコンサートは大成功で一緒にいたオーケストラととっても有名な指揮者兼作曲家も凄かったー：）

Then last night, was our second time to go to the 1900 Ocean Halloween Party. Madison went to the ball as Belle. She kept it on for longer than we expected, with only minor bribery, so that was good.
そして、昨日の夜は僕達が住んでいるマンションで毎年行われるハロウィンパーティーへ...　マディソンはベルになる事にしましたがもちろん２階のパーティー会場に到着するなりドレスを脱ぎたがってしまい、仕様が無く飴を使っていつもより長く着ててもらう事に成功しました。

One of Madison's pool buddies from the summer, Sophia, was there as well and kept her entertained.
夏の間いつもプールで一緒に遊んでいた子、ソフィアも人魚姫として登場。マディソンと遊んでくれたのでちょっと楽をする事が出来ました。
