Saturday, April 5, 2008 Our Second Visit to the WCRB Classic Cartoon Festival in Boston

For the second year in a row, Tony D'Ambrosio, who enjoys kids almost as much as he likes cartoons, treated 5 of our children to a trip to Symphony Hall in Boston.  This year Michelle Cormier volunteered to accompany Tony, paying her own way, and even bringing her own car. This is a really fun event.  Lots of people; lots of wonderful music; many things to do and see. Here are just a few snapshots to give you the flavor of the event.

Zach Galante starts out by stocking up on energy bars. Owen Chace and friend Kevin stuck together. Carter Jack and Josh on line as Michelle hovers in the background.  Tony and Michelle were plenty busy keeping on eye on these kids. Josh gets his form stamped.  There were about 20 places to visit and do this.  If you visited them all, you got to take a bag of treats home. Josh looks over his collection of stamps. Will Michelle win the Strad? A very little, as yet unkown, artist, getting his first lesson. Only very few of us could make a noise on the flute.  It's much harder than it looks.  Zach Galante succeeded where most failed. Michelle and Carter Jack collected many goodies of all kinds.  Here they can be seen, gloating over their treasure. The boys listen to a youth orchestra; and nibble a bit at the same time.

And here they all are, ready to head back.  The Big City's fun to visit, but for home, we like Rindge.
