Ava's First Musical!

Adam and I got season tickets to the local Summer Musicals. He and I went to see Wicked, Chicago and Spamalot, but we were excited to give my ticket to Ava for The Lion King! We bought the Disney DVD version for her a few months back so that she'd be familiar with the storyline and recognize some of the music. We talked about the upcoming musical to her for at least a month in advance. She would see the commercial advertising the show on television and yell, "Mom, look...The Lion King. I'm going to see that with Daddy!"

Here is a picture of Daddy and Ava getting ready to leave for the show. Don't they look nice?

Elizabeth and I stayed behind and caught up on a little shut-eye.
Adam took Ava downstairs to see the big fountain. She was impressed by the giant chandelier.

Miss Ava loved the show and when Adam asked if she was ready to go home during intermission, or if she'd rather stay for the rest...she insisted on staying!
Look at these two having a blast together on their Daddy-daughter "date"!
They each came home and were so excited to tell me what a wonderful time they'd had. Ava asked me the next day if we could go see The Lion King again!
