Angelika was Fall Leaves and Eli was Batman!

Girls' Night at The Mesa Center for the Arts

Angelika, Carina, Jessie, Violet and I went to the Mesa Center for the Arts to see Peter Pan. One of Carina's students was in the production. Afterwards, a very nice lady (who loves to take pictures) offered to photograph us in different poses :) !
We had a lot of fun with it! Hey! When is our next Girls' Night?
