This weekend has been full of shows! On Friday we took Hailey to Disney on Ice. She loved it. When the opening number featured Mickey and Minnie she gasped and clasped her hands over her mouth in excitment. Then she exclaimed: "They can talk!" She of course loved the whole thing, and I must admit that Dave and Iwere captivated too, it was amazing! But afterall, it is Disney. They did little snip-its from different shows and featured a mini-musical number. I was so impressed. Hailey loved when the kids from Peter Pan flew over the audience or when Ariel's sisters appeared out of these massive sea shells they'd been hiding in.
Then on Saturday we went to the VHS production of Aida. Ms.M always does such a good job, she demands perfection and she gets it! The leads were very strong and did a great job. I was moved! I was inspired to be passionate about something in my life. My favorite line is "If I could leave this place then I'd go sailing." It is the peace you get when out on the water and the power you have to go wherever you want mixed with the carefree attitude of going where the wind takes you. For those of you who haven't seen it, you really must! I love this musical! It reminds me of my freedom; I am not in shackles, my people are not in slavery. I have the man I love beside me and we don't have to die to be together! Oh so good! And so different from the "huh, yuck" of Goofy's laugh that we saw the night before!

We went to those two last weekend as well. We just flipped the days. Too bad, I would have loved to have seen you at one of them. They both were amazing and different just as you said. Such neat experiences to have.
So funny that We went to Aida on Saturday night here in CO at a local high school, and Brailee went with a friend to Disney on Ice in Denver. So funny.
Cute blog Michelle. I LOVED watching "Stepping Time" what a cute dad you have.
