Rylie Finally Sees Ga-linda...the "Popular" Girl!!!

Today I finally took Rylie and Parker to see Wicked!!! (Yes, for those of you counting, this was time number 5 for me!!!) Rylie has been dying to see it ever since I saw it for the first time, back in December! She knows all of the songs...and we listen to the CD all of the time! They both loved it!!! They didn't care that we were on the very back row of the upper section...they were actually very good seats...right across the isle, so there wasn't anyone in front of them! They sat and ate their skittles and watched the entire show! I had to remind Rylie that the people came to listen to the people sing the songs, not her...but she was so mesmerized by the whole thing that she didn't even try to sing!

Waiting to get into the theater...yes, the "wiggy" hair was out again!

I know, I'm not supposed to take pictures in the theater, but since this was of my kids and not of the set, I figured it was ok!

In a fun twist of fate, Linda called me on Thursday to tell me that she was planning on getting tickets for this afternoon, and she wanted to know how the kids liked it...she thought they had already gone! We were very excited to find out that we were all going to the same show! This morning we decided to all go together and make a day of it! Wayne was very brave to take us all! And let me say that he can maneuver Hollywood like nobody I have ever seen before!

After the show we stopped at the Rainforest Cafe for dinner! The kids had a great time! Between the animals, the rain storms, the balloons, and the "dirt and worms" they had the best dinner EVER!!! By the time we got home, my kids were completely worn out! It was a great day!!! Thanks Linda and Wayne for making it just as fun for me as it was for the kids!!!

Now...to find more Wicked tickets...just kidding...I'm really not going again...not that I don't want to!!!

I am so bummed I couldn't get a babysitter!!! Trust me I tried and it was a good thing I didnt tell Mackenzee we were going to go or she would have been crushed. We will just have to Lion King in Sacramento. Glad you had a fun time.

What is WICKED about? I have never heard of it, except on your blog. Sounds like a fun time though!
