I crossed off one of my LA Bucket Lists items today. Hubs had to work a bit of overtime so Penny and I had a Mom/Daughter day which started out with a shopping trip to Target, a discount matinee of "The Boxtrolls" complete with popcorn, and a late afternoon show at Bob Barker's Marionette Theatre, which is surprisingly close to our house. To kick off our holiday season we went to see "The Nutcracker." As the longest running children's theater in Los Angeles, all of the marionettes, puppets, props and costumes for the theater are produced in the on-site shop. I have always wanted to check this out and finally, Penny seemed to be at the right age to enjoy it. Enjoy it she did, although she was a bit cranky from having no nap. In true Penny style she made friends easily with a little boy but in her excitement of having to do everything that the little boy did she got upset and was thus, a little unruly. The show was really old fashion and i enjoyed it. It was a little bit spooky with the dancing dolls but that could just be me. The show was under an hour which is good for a toddler's attention span. Afterwards it was ice cream for all. Penny enjoyed that aspect.
