We spent this past weekend in Fairfield mainly because LaLa's theater group was having their District One Act Play competition. It was a fun-filled weekend with everything from Tom Sawyer to Zebras eating out of our hands!
Saturday morning, we gave CoCo her birthday gifts since we won't see her on her birthday in a few days. Of course, Mira wanted to "help" open the presents.
Mira made the gift wrap with her finger paints!
Saturday was the day of the OAP competition, and LaLa was supposed to get an early start. She was running a bit late, and since they live across the street from the high school (literally), the whole crew showed up at her door to retrieve her!
So excited to get going!
The company performed The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and did a fantastic job; they ended up being one of only two schools to advance to the Area competition and recieving awards for Best Actress, All Star Tech, All Star Cast, and Honorary All Star Cast! They were super-excited - especially since it has been about 6 years since Fairfield has advanced in OAP!
Mira waiting patiently for the play to start. She was so good and sat through the whole play! She liked pointing out LaLa who plays four different characters - some of which are boys - so, it wasn't an easy task!
Avi is so silly!
Ready for the awards ceremony!
Advancing!
Calling to share the good news
LaLa with their trophy!
On Sunday, we had the pleasure of visiting the ranch of a lovely couple, the Galley's, who live just outside of Fairfield. Mr. Galley drove us all over his 800 acres in his Kubota to meet all the amazing animals that they love and dote on! We saw llamas, horses, Shetland ponies, deer, oryx, ducks, zebra, and a donkey! We got to feed the llamas, horses, ponies, zebras, and donkey right out of our hands! I was surprised at how very well-behaved they all were (except the incident of the zebra wanting to eat Avi's hair).
I've never met such polite llamas!
Mira couldn't wait to feed them!
Kenny and Avi fed the sweet llamas, too!
Mira did feed them, but I can't find the picture! Look how happy she was right after!
Having fun!
Having fun? (They really were, but it was a little cold!)
We were all surprised when LaLa fed the ponies - she's not much of an animal person!
Avi loved feeding the ponies!
I'll just help myself, thanks.
What a beauty!
Whitetail taking a rest
Who doesn't have a small herd of Oryx running around their East Texas Ranch? They had two adorable babies running with them, so we couldn't get too close.
More deer/elk-type animals...
And the grand finale....!!!!
Avi feeding Dolly the Donkey.
Avi was the Zebra Whisperer - Ollie wanted to eat her hair and then her jacket.
Mira fed Dolly, too!
She was having so much fun!

CoCo and Avi giving Ollie some love after he got in trouble for trying to eat Avi. Notice she has her hood on now to keep him at bay a little!

We all had a blast, as usual, playing and visiting with everyone! We'll see you all soon in April for the Area OAP competition!!
