Guess Where We Went........?

Guess where we went?

Last week we had the most amazing experience.... We got to go to the set of Good Luck Charlie in L.A.!!!
Our friends Charli, Malerie, Madison and Makenzie came too!
We were technically the laughter in the background... or the real live canned laughter, whatever you call it.
  It was so much fun!
Before the taping started, we got a tour of the studio and they told us about how everything works behind the scenes!
Here are some fun facts:
• Did you know that Sitcom = Situation Comedy?
• An episode of Good Luck Charlie costs $200 a minute to film!
• Leading up to the taping of an episode - Monday-Wednesday the actors rehearse, then Thursday they do half of the taping and Friday they come in and tape what they didn't do on Thursday (most of the time it is out of order).
In the time on Friday, for people like us who came and did the laughing part of it, they will replay the scene that they taped the other day so that they can record our laughter for that section because Friday is the only day that they have a live audience when they do.
• On the set of Good Luck Charlie they have the main rooms like the kitchen, living room, basement and Teddy's room that are always there.  But, for rooms like the garage, PJ and Gabe's room, Charlie's room and any other room in the house or taking place in a different location in the episode; they are called "swing sets" and literally can swing in and out of place when needed!

I could talk about it forever, but because I totally would I am just going to post some photos now:

A Cooking Experience for a 7 Year Old

by Nate
Recently I got to go to The Ecology Center for a cooking lesson.  A really great chef named Erika teaches a class called Farm to Fork for kids ages 6-12 there once a month.  It is perfect for me because I think I might want to have a farm and a restaurant one day.
We got to explore the garden and the farm.  We made biscuits with homemade whipped cream and strawberries from the farm.  It was really fun.

Photography

As many of you lovely followers might remember, I have a spurring love of photography!

Earthroots Adventure

We welcomed Springtime with another Earthroots adventure.  This time a trip to O'Neill Regional Park where Nate and Allie made Bow Drill Fire Kits.  The kids mostly used mulefat to make their boards, spindles and bows.  It was a fun day in nature with the added benefit of the beautiful California sunshine.  We'll definitely be back for more.

Remembrance by Carly Stone

This is my original composition Remembrance.  It's dedicated to my Papa who passed away recently.  I worked on notating it with my teacher Ms. Marla and we submitted it to a program called "Composers Today" where real professional composers look at your manuscript and then offer feedback.  I'm excited to see what they'll say about my piece.  Here is a first glance of the sheet music.  Comment and let me know if you're interested in the rest of it and I can email it to you.  Thanks so much!

I Felt Inspired To Share This Quote

The Joy is great of him who strays
In shady woods on summer days,
With eyes alert and muscles steady,
His long-bow strung, his arrows ready.
