good-bye mainland

I was more than thrilled when the Montessori Children’s House of Nantucket called and invited me to the island to tell some stories.  They were having their annual fundraiser and they provide a day full of crafts, music and of course – Big Ryan!

performing!

The trip over, as cold as it was, was still beautiful and wild.  I had never been in a plane so small – but it was so worth it!  It’s like a 15 minute roller-coaster :)  I am sure it has a lot to do with the weather, as it was quite blustery along with the bitter coldness!

The Giggling Crowd

I have a cousin who lives on the island who came to show me around while waiting for my shows to begin.  The best part thus far was meeting her little pup, Fiona.  But before I knew it the afternnon had arrived and it was time to tell some stories!  I could not have asked for a better crowd – a room full of happy children – all ready to play and laugh along with my Tall Tales!
