It's a kind of magic...

 On Saturday morning, we went with good friends to the College of Magic for their annual production.  It was such a great morning out and really good value for money - just R50.00 for over 2 hours entertainment and a goodie bag to take home.  The kids had a ball and it was such fun to share it with them.

The double storey building that houses the college has various rooms and it was such fun moving through the Hogwarts-like building as we followed our group.  There was so much to look at as we moved through the passages.  In this particular room, the kids were taught a trick to make and take home with them...

 M and his boys, Michael (10) and Cameron (8) joined us too, so it was awesome to be able to share it with them as well.  They're on the ninja's left...

 Part of the show includes a story, this year using back lighting and musical instruments for all the kids and parents - it's such fun to be an overgrown child sometimes...

 More tricks, needed more volunteers and, ever the extravert, Michael was keen to get involved again...

 The costumes and makeup this year were really great too...

 Our 3 boys were called up to be part of the last act too...

 Cam was the dragon...

 Michael, the man in chains in prison...

 And Jake was the frog.  For the act, the princess had to choose one to marry, based on the crowd's cheering.  The frog won and Jake was NOT impressed with the prospect of having to be any sort of frog prince! Fortunately, to his relief, he didn't have to kiss the princess...

 Not the best photos, but hopefully it gives you some idea of the fun morning we all enjoyed!! More pictures of other fun times tomorrow!

Sending love,
