The theater...

Portland has a theater group that puts on plays just for kids.  Recently, they put on a musical about Pinkalicious, which is a book that Eliana has read.  It's about a girl who eats too much pink stuff and wakes up to find herself turned pink herself.

This seemed like a fun outing, so Elvin took the two girls plus their cousins to see the show.

This was Eliana and Karina's first time seeing a live musical. 

The show is about to begin.  Since it is geared towards kids, the show is only 1 hour long, as opposed to 2 or 3 hours.

 

Here's a picture after the show was over.  Eliana liked the musical and understood the plot.  Karina probably was not following the story, but she said she enjoyed it.

 

Because the storyline involved the main character eating one too many pink cupcakes, the theater partnered with a local cupcake bakey to create "Pinkalicious cupcakes."  Elvin picked up two for the girls as a special treat.  They are big cupcakes, but they really only ate the frosting.
