A Trip to the Theater

On Sunday I took the girls to see the middle school's presentation of the musical The Little Mermaid. Jayson stayed home because it was in the middle of a Packers game. I was a little nervous about what would happen if Charlie had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the show, but luckily one of my friends brought her daughters too and I didn't have to worry as much. Also, Charlie didn't have to go in the middle of the show anyway.

The girls absolutely loved it. Charlie got a little antsy about halfway in. She started talking in a normal voice and even talked back to an actor at one point. I was ready to take her out in the hall, but she stopped. Then she turned around and stared at the two girls sitting right behind her, who luckily found it amusing.

I always love watching our students perform and there were several characters who were amazing, but I was really blown away by Ursula. After the show, the girls wanted their pictures taken with some of the stars. I talked to one of the directors and told her that I felt like Ursula stole the show.

When we got back home, Jayson asked the girls how it was. Audrey told her it was good, but a bad thing happened. He asked her what that meant and she said, "Some lady dressed like a jelly fish tried to steal some stuff!" I explained to Jayson that Ursula, the sea witch stole the show.

The high school is doing The Wizard of Oz in February and the girls can't wait!
