Our Yosemite trip-November 2010

We took an awesome trip to Yosemite with free Amtrak tickets Max won at Annual Train Day in May.

The transfer to the buses was not so fun, but the train ride was great.

We had sook much fun and got the first snowfall of the season. We were so lucky. It really made our trip special.

We were lucky to get a discounted heated tent in Curry Village and we were very cozy and toasty. Enjoy!

Max's Holiday show at Pinecrest Elementary

We had a blast last night as we enjoyed Max and all the first and 2nd graders at Pinecrest Elementary, Van Nuys in their production of "How the Penguins Saved Christmas"!

Max exhibited his robust acting chops as he performed the role of "Penguin #3 - Wise Emperor Penguin" in this production and exhibited fine vocal form as he sang such classics as "The Elegant Christmas", "Who Can the Stranger Be", "Who, Me?", and "Kazoo Fanfare for the Emperor".

Enjoy the pictures!
