"The Rabbit Story"

Some friends and I recently went to an outdoor theater presentation of The Velveteen Rabbit (or, according to my son, The Rabbit Story).  I was excited to take Christian.  Knowing he already has a love for books,  I hoped this would be magical for him as he saw the story come "alive" on stage.  However, I should have read a little deeper into the description. 

As the story began, my college roommate and I looked at each other in horror.  It was The Velveteen Rabbit told in opera form!  She mouthed to me, "Our husbands are going to kill us!"  I agreed wholeheartedly. 

Despite the unexpected rendition of the story, the kids had an enjoyable morning with a classic story, a picnic lunch, a lot of laughing and playing, and a train ride.
