I had a reunion with some friends from High School. Hillary, Heather, Melissa, Serina, and Hannah. We started at the end of July. On Saturday night we went to Park City and saw Idena Menzel. She was amazing. She played the green witch in Broadway's Wicked. She is also on Glee, as an opposing team conductor? I don't know, I've only seen one episode of Glee. She was really funny though, and her voice was so beautiful. We got sandwiches at Subway, then hiked up this huge hill to lay out our blankets on the grass. I don't think there was hardly anyone behind us. But it was fun. We ate our dinner while waiting for the show to start and just visited.
We spent Sunday with our individual families. Since some of the girls live far away, they needed to see their parents also.
On Monday we hiked to the Payson Grotto, changed clothes, fed the baby, went to dinner at Los Hermanos in Provo, then saw Thor, and came home to sleep.
On Tuesday the other girls (I know we are women now, but I don't think of us as being that old, I guess.) went shopping to the Outlets in Park City. I needed to spend some time with my girls (these girls are actually children), and I didn't really want to shop, so I stayed home.
Wednesday afternoon we tried to have a picnic at the Summit Ridge Santaquin water park, but it got all yucky, rainy, and windy, so we decided to not stay. Hillary and Henry (her adorable son) came to my house and we finished our food and visited. But our kids were tired, so Hillary went home and I put mine down for naps. Later that night we dressed up nice and drove to Salt Lake to see "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at the Hale Center Theater. It was really good. The stage was incredibly impressive. The theatre is round, so performing on that stage can be difficult. But this stage had lots of different levels that they could raise and lower. It turned in circles, dropped into the floor, and rose almost to the ceiling. It was so great. And the music and acting were wonderful as well.
That was July 30-August 3. Then August 4 we had a pool party at my parent's house. Mostly it was Lynette and my Mom's daughters, I think. Then that night was Ryan and I's 11th wedding anniversary. We had dinner and a nice night. We bought ourselves a Kinect (no remote needed-you control everything with just your body movements. It is really cool.) for our Anniversary. The next day, we drove to Moab area for the Evans Family Reunion. That is another post.
We had a really bad windstorm that took off a lot of our shingles, and broke the limb off this tree. Thankfully, that was the worst that happened to us. Oh, and the power was out when Ryan was trying to buy us some shakes, but I'm grateful he got home safe. :)
Amanda, Mom, Dad, Sheri (Mom's friend) and I went and saw "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". The Payson Community Theater was putting it on. It was fabulous! The singing and acting were amazing. The lead -Jekyll/Hyde- did a fantastic job. He switched back and forth between two incredibly different characters, and convincingly portraying them both. The only thing to even complain about was the fact that it was in a small room with no air conditioning. Oh wait, they did say they had AC. Is that what the little tiny window unit by the door was? It didn't help.
My cute, funny Elayna:
Ryan asked Elayna in the middle of the night "How are you?"
Elayna-stretching and yawning, "Cute." -8-20-11
Katie started Kindergarten. That is another post also. I guess that about sums up August, as near as I can remember.
