The Servant's Quarters

Random Memories from Neverland

Falling on my wallet the first time I tried to fly a kid

Buying a cookie for Nate

Lunch with Olivia at the Coldstone Creamery (Yes, I am the kewlest Dad in the world)

Going to two different Meijers to buy gloves and Liv's "magical flying underwear"

Isaac recruiting me to work the spotlight (What a great kid!)

Kidding around with Gary Andrews about Jimmy Hoffa

"DIE!" screamed the Lost Boy, as he threw the arrow off stage at Wendy

Molly crashing into the pirate ship during the Pan/Hook fight scene (and Anthony's subsequent "body outline")

Doing the Ooompa Loompa

Mr. Darling, the Drama Queen

Happy Birthday, Ryan! (Now give me a cookie)

Wendy landing and missing her mark (and Anthony dragging her across the stage)

Madeline's Three Stage Plan for World Conquest

Olivia's dress getting stolen

Mike's and Mia's Peter Pan Yearbook Project

Trying Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Josh Kauffman's "magic tricks"

Tinkerbell's jug breaking during the matinee performance, and Dave Anderson replacing it with an identical jug before the next show

Going to the Canton Eagle office to get copies of the paper with Olivia on the front page

Buying and signing a 100th anniversary edition of "Peter Pan and Wendy" as a gift for Olivia

Dave Anderson crashing and needing nine staples in his head. Flying is dangerous work.

Anthony's cell phone going off during the performance

The nest of angry bees above the theater entrance

Reading "The Wounded Land" by Stephen R. Donaldson

Walking to the convenience store down the road with Isaac and noticing the strangeness of not seeing any people around

Anthony talking about his son and the need to get him the best cell phone photo technology

Getting Olivia changed into her nightgown backstage (and the argument that it took to get her to agree to do it)

UGH-REVENGE!

Motrin is my best friend

Olivia walking to the wrong spot during curtain call and almost taking off Molly's arm with her fly line

Buying snacks from Olivia's Fabulous Foods for the entire cast

Christopher's wonder as we toured backstage after the Saturday matinee

Being in awe of the Braun's during intermission ("It's...... THE BRAUNS! I can't believe it!!!!")

Our despair after hearing the orchestra during the dress rehearsals (And our relief that they managed to pull it together shortly thereafter)

Posting advertisements for the play at the Dearborn Public Libraries

Suggesting lines for Patrick Lutz for when Smee is dragged offstage by the Lost Boys (He actually used one!!!)

Mike Petrillo growing up when he wasn't supposed to grow up (%&*!# PUBERTY)

Losing my money clip at the convenience store (Thank goodness it was empty)



Thanks to Emily and the kids for all the amazing fun. "Peter Pan" was a blast.
