What a Concert!

This was the picture projected onto the curtain. Way cool!
Elisabeth and Brooklyn at dinner On The Border. We sat outside on the patio. It got pretty chilly without long sleeves but they were good scouts.

We tried to take a picture of ourselves but nobody had long enough arms! So we had to squeeze together and figure out how to balance the camera with one hand and push the tiny button on the camera.

Uncle Ruthie gave Elisabeth a ticket to see the High School Musical on Tour Concert at the Tucson Convention Center. For anyone that has not been on planet earth for a few years may not know that this musical is the modern version of Grease, which some of us older people may know. The parents pitched in and bought two additional tickets so that Elisabeth could take her best friend Brooklyn and a designated driver to the concert.

On concert day the girls left home around 3 p.m. and ate dinner in Tucson at a restaurant called ON THE BORDER. They giggled up a storm and had a ton of fun. After that we went downtown to find parking and the like. The doors to the concert hall didn't open fast enough for them to go shopping for souveniers. The got a stretchy cotton bag with red strings and a cd. During intermission they were told to hurry up and go to the bathroom. What a blessing that they listened because when we got there there were no lines and when we got out the line snaked around the corner. Lucky for us! Elisabeth caught her mom sleeping during part of the show. Does that surprise any one that really knows our mother! :) Mom had gotten up at 4 to be at work early so she could get off early and this show started at 7:30 p.m.

The concert was actually pretty good. Elisabeth is quoted as saying "this was pretty good and my favorite part was Gabriella in the play actually looked like the one on the movies". (from quite the distance) We sat at some decent seats at the back of the first floor. Mom is quoted as saying "the coolest part of the evening was the moment the curtain was opening and the little kids were just screaming- almost like a rock concert! One could feel the energy in the music hall. It was a lot of fun. " Brooklyn was interviewed as well and she said "no comment".

The 1.5 hour drive home went by fairly quickly and was uneventful. The way we like them.
