"WICKED" - We Finally Saw It!

This past Sat night we were able to go down to Hollywood to the Pantages Theater to see "Wicked". We were so excited - we've been talking about wanting to see the show for so long! We got down and parked and had a few hours to waste before the show. We ate at a little place called "Combos" and then tried out "Pinkberry" yogurt. Combos was ok, but the Pinkberry was not like our favorite yogurt shop (NUBI) at all! After our first bite, we all made a yuck face! I guess it was a little too healthy for us all! We had fun going into a vintage/costume shop after the yogurt - it was amazing to see all the old items and costumes they had.

When we got to the theater they were doing the Lottery. I had never heard about it, but it might be something to do some time. They have a limited number of front row orchestra seats for $25. They do it by lottery! I think it picked 6 sets to sell.

The show started at 8:00 pm, so we were all pretty tired by the time it started. I think Kayley might have dozed off for a few minutes, but it was hard to fall asleep with the show going on. It was good and we are waiting for our "Wicked "soundtrack to arrive. I found one on Ebay for about 1/2 the price they were selling them for at the theater. Kayley will be happy to not to have to listen to "Mama Mia!" everyday now! If you haven't seen the show yet, I highly suggest it! Its amazing at how they tie the whole "Wizard of OZ" story together and explain it all!

I'm thinking I'm ready for season tickets now! Next year I want to see "Grease", "Mama Mia!", "Dirty Dancing" and "Legally Blonde".

Sept Awards Assembly!!

We were so proud to find out that Kayley was getting the "Scholar's Award" last week at the awards assembly. She was so surprised to see us there. We had to sneak to school after the bus picked up. We even ducked down when we saw her bus coming to school.



Here's a pic of Kayley with some freinds from her class. She's doing so well in school, but is having fun with friends - old and new!

Our Labor Day Disneyland Trip!

We decided to take a day trip down to Disneyland and CA Adventure on Labor Day! The traffic was pretty much non-existent and we got there by 9:00 am. Disneyland wasn't too busy that early either - we waited for Autopia for about 10 minutes - short for that ride! Kayley and I had a great time doing what we wanted and seeing all the characters we could!












WALL-E

We hadn't seen this one at CA Adventure before!













In front of the Castle










We like to take either the Horse Drawn Trolley or one of the other cars!
