Tomorrow... tomorrow... I'll love ya tomorrow...

Last night Ethan and I took Syrina and McKenzie to the PAC to see the musical ANNIE. It was a very special evening for me, and a tradition that I wanted to share with my nieces.

Let me start off by saying that the evening was special for me because I wanted to share the love of the theater experience with my nieces in the same way that my grandma had shared these experiences with me. It was always a big night when my grandma and I went to see a play, even if the play was at the high school! I can remember getting dressed up to go to the old Tulsa Little Theater to see different plays when I was Kenzie's age and younger.

Annie is my favorite of all plays. When I was about 6 my grandma bought me a red wig, made me a red dress like Annie's, bought me a little Annie doll, and even let me play with her dog Rocky (who looked a lot like Sandy!) She and I went to the Little Theater to see Annie, as well as to several other productions of the play. We found the album to the play at a garage sale and of course we bought it! To foster my love for the play even more, grandma bought me the VHS tape of the play as well...

So of course, when I saw that Annie was going to be in town this month, I knew that I HAD to take my nieces to the play. If not for my love of the play, for the memory of my grandma. I bought tickets for the 4 of us, and then off we went to buy dresses for the girls for the event!!!

Pictures coming soon...

Circus...

Cue the circus music... envision the big top... smell the funnel cakes... and hide from the clowns... The SHRINER circus was in town last weekend and Ethan and I were the lucky people who took Ana!!! This was the first time I had been to the circus since I was a little girl with my grandma.

We had a lot of fun at the circus. I think that Ethan and I almost had more fun at the circus than Ana!!! She opted to sit in Ethan's lap throughout the entire performance, and even listened to him and his instructions during intermission!

Here is Ethan and Ana before the circus started. I can't decide who is sillier, Ethan or Ana! Usually she is the one who has her tongue out in pictures!!!

Ana having fun before the performance started...

WOW! What more can one say??? The man is suspended by a hoop around his neck from a bar dangling in the sky while holding a woman using his feet above the ground... without a safety net!!!!

The clowns! I must say that clowns are really amusing... from a distance... I love watching clowns, they make me laugh, really they do... but I am not the biggest fan of clowns being up close and personal with me. These clowns were funny!!!

Ana hugging one of the Shriner clowns. She isn't the biggest of fans of clowns up close, kinda like me! We had a great time watching the circus, Ana was a big fan of the trapeze acts.... and I enjoyed watching Ana with Ethan playing and being silly...
