365 ~ 2016: Day 143

The show officially closed today and it was so much fun!  For 2 of the 4 performances, David played a giraffe.  This production was very ambitious and had their giraffes on stilts!  David was determined to make it work.  The taller kids were able to use drywall stilts, however David was not tall enough for them.  You can see from the picture below that the upper clasp would have been above his knee.  The directors husband had made a set before they decided to go to the more stable drywall stilts...and it turned out that with a little bit of tweaking (thanks to Charlie!) we were able to get them to work for David.  It was a lot of trial and error and he still made me feel uneasy watching him walk across the stage, but he didn't fall and he had so much fun using them!  I'm so thankful for these cool experiences that my boys get to have.  What a great show and I'm sorry to see it end, but they are all ready for the next one!
