Wicked!

After buying tickets 10 months earlier, seeing this screen directing us to our "One short day in the Emerald City" was sooooo exciting! We found out a couple of days before the show that a friend had two extra tickets, so we bought them and took the girls with us! They had really wanted to go ever since they found out that Becky and Dave were taking Katherine and Megan, so it worked out perfectly. Except for one tiny point: we had to let the girls sit down in our expensive seats so they could be by their cousins while Del and I took the cheaper balcony seats by our friends. Aren't we good parents?!




Here is a picture of the girls enjoying the nice seats right before the show. Del and I used little binoculars up in the balcony. The sacrifices we make for our kids! It was worth it, though. We could see fine, and it's an experience they'll never forget! The show was wonderful! Even better than I imagined! My only regret is that when I bought the tickets in August I didn't splurge and buy 6 tickets so the boys could have gone, too! They assured me that it would have been a waste of my money, but I know they would have secretly loved it!

Here we are after 3
hours of spectacular entertainment! You can't see it, but my toes are tapping, and I'm ready to break into singing and dancing around on the sidewalk. Luckily, Del was there to hold me back! There's something about hearing incredibly talented people sing that gives you the mistaken idea that you might be able to, too! Now that I'm home, of course, I do it all the time! Mostly in the shower, but my family occasionally gets to attend my concerts in the car, too! Lucky!

Becky and I both decided to wear ruby red slippers in honor of Oz, so here she is clicking her fashionable heels together. "There's no place like home..." Really, we were NOT ready to go home, yet! It was a great day, but way too short!
