And we thought we were just going to see Peter Pan...

Today, Kerryn and I took Maddie to see "Peter Pan" in Kensington Gardens. I wish I could tell you all about it, but I'd never do it justice. My favorite part was when Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Wendy, John, and Michael fly over London on their way to Neverland. All I can say is that if you get the chance, go see it. It is an amazing production!

It was based on the book and not the Disney movie, so I learned something new. "The Lost Boys" were the ones who fell out of their prams in Kensington Gardens - the unfortunate boys whose nannies lost them in the park. When school starts, Maddie and I are going to check the book out at the library and read a chapter every night. I don't know who will enjoy it more - me or Maddie.

Here are a few pictures from our day out. The last picture was almost as exciting as the show!

Jack Black

During intermission, we headed to the bar to get drinks - just Diet Coke and apple juice. While we were standing in the queue, I saw a guy walk by with a young boy on his shoulders. I looked at Kerryn, Kerryn looked at me, and we both watched Jack Black head across the room. After we got our drinks and ice cream, we headed around back to see if we could spot him. Kerryn wins the prize for taking this photo of Jack. We found him chatting away on his mobile. Honestly, it was as if we were the only people there who recognized him. He went completely unnoticed until after the show. While he waited for his black, Mercedes people mover on Bayswater Road and the boy (His son? I don't know.) made a substantial amount of noise, Jack received a lot more attention.

So, now you know - Jack Black and Peter Pan are both in London.
