Mama & Dada went to the Opera at the Lincoln Center to see Le Nozze di Figaro with Auntie Heather and her friend Joe; the Opera was certainly entertaining and afterwards, they went to eat at Gabriel’s Bar and Restaurant. The food was good and everyone had fun. Since Mama didn’t want to walk so far in her fancy shoes, Dada went to get the car. Mama was waiting in front of the restaurant and saw Regis Philbin entering with his wife. Mama later described his look to her as, ‘Oh no. I hope this isn’t a crazy fan who’s going to start talking to me about the show … while I’m trying to enjoy a peaceful dinner out with my wife.’
Since Austen wasn’t ready for the almost 4 hour long Opera, she spent the day playing with Grandma Mindy and Grandpa. Whenever Austen visits them, she has a very active time: running, dancing, singing, jumping, playing with jewelry and eating lots of homemade food. When Mama and Dada returned around 8pm, they were expecting to find a pooped-out Austen, ready to go to sleep. Instead, here’s what they saw: Austen jumping, dancing and singing with Grandma Mindy!
