Marionette Mania

Last week, I took the kids to a marionette version of The Little Mermaid at the Palace Theater in Grapevine.  It was a big hit, and they're begging to go to another one soon. 

After the show, the kids "met" the marionettes and their handlers.  Marin only stuck around for one picture, but that's progress.

On a side note, I realized during the show that I am truly raising a little Texan.  Ariel is a mermaid, and her father is the undersea king.  When they announced him as a "Merking," Liam turned to me and said, "But, Mama, I thought that they were all American."  A Merking.  American.  That's Texas talk, folks.  :)
