The day finally came!! We got to go to the Lion King!! And it was Ah-mazing!!! It was so colorful, beautiful singing, beautiful dancing...I just can't say enough about it! I wanted SO much to take pictures during the performance, but it's not allowed. It was definitely something I'll never forget!
My parents took us. They saw it on Broadway in NYC last year, and asked if we'd be interested. YEAH!!!! Matt and Coop stayed home and watched the Cowboys game :) ,and Suzie stayed home with Mia, so It was just the 8 of us. I was a little worried before it started that Chloe and Port might get bored or not understand it, but they LOVED it!! They were completely taken with the whole thing! They recognized parts from the movie, the characters, and some of the songs. I talked to them a lot during the play so they'd kinda know what was going on. I explained how it was supposed to be an interpretation of the movie, not exactly like it. They totally got it! They absolutely loved it! We're so lucky to have gotten to go. It meant a lot to me to be able to go to a play with my kids. I grew up going to plays and symphonies a few times a year, and I loved it, and have an appreciation for it. Yesterday I was thinking about how great it is that people have these types of talents and desires-to perform! I don't, but I'm so glad others do!
(our group)
(Me, Mom, Chloe (almost 7), Papa, Liam (5), Porter (4), Tristan (3 1/2), and Billy)
When we got done, we all met at Z Tejas (YUUM!) for lunch. The kids were so excited to tell Da-da all about it. They even kept talking about it after we got home to our house. They just loved it!
It was such a great day! It was a long wait, since we got the tickets in April!, but it was SO worth it!! We're so glad we got to go! Thanks so much for taking us, Mom & Kevin!!
