Opening Night Sensation!

Benson's performance garnered cheers and raves during the opening night show on Thursday. The large crowd surprised him a bit but didn't throw him off. He sang out with confidence and didn't miss a word.

Here the family waits for the performance to begin. The older set from the community arrives early and vies for the best seats. Even though we were there first, we didn't realize that a line would form 30 minutes before the doors opened. We will figure out a new strategy for getting seats that allow for maximum view of Benson.
Jeff entertains Sadie on his phone while we wait.
Carolina is known for its beautiful sunsets. Here's an example.
Benson reads a book in the car while we travel to the performance.
Sadie received a mylar balloon at the library earlier that day. She was enamoured with seeing her reflection in it and she kept kissing it. I was lucky enough to get this pretty good shot. She has missed Benson so much during the rehearsal period that now she follows him around constantly. He is a pretty good sport but sometimes it gets to him. He would like a little personal space.
