Caissie is now starring as Elaphaba in the LA company of Wicked.

What’s a mother-son relationship without a little friendly competition? Nate Owens spent a sporty Mother’s Day at the Santa Monica Pier with his mom, who, we must say, is way better at the trapeze than her son.
That’s right. You can take trapeze lessons (not that Nate’s mom needs any) at Trapeze School New York — right on the pier. You can also have your pick between video games, rides, and other carnival staples like the ring toss game that Nate challenged his mom to.
If you’re one of those kids whose mom was way more excited about rollercoasters than you ever were, the Santa Monica pier may just be the perfect place to spend Mother’s Day…or any day after that.
