The Lion King & Tarzan at Tuacahn

The week before school started, we filled it with Disney plays. Jon and I were able to see The Lion King at Capital Theater. It was sensational! We've enjoyed going to Broadway Across America plays with our friends, the Proctor's, Hatch's & Ashton's. The Lion King was the final one of this season and we were also able to go with Becky & John. A super huge thanks to Rich & Misty for watching the kids!

We met at PF Chang's for dinner and then walked over to the show. It was fabulous! The costumes were breathtaking and I thought it was very well done.

Then on Friday, we took one last trip before school and went down to St. George to see Tarzan at the Tuacahn Ampitheater. We left on Friday morning. Peter came with us and was so good with the kids in the car. We checked into our hotel and then swam. It felt so good - it was probably 105 degrees outside. We then got ready and met Becky & John at the Pizza Factory for dinner. We then headed to the ampitheater and met Rich & Misty there. It's a beautiful setting to see a show and the kids did great. We saw "Tarzan" and after getting used to people dressed up like apes, it was pretty good. Hannah sat still the whole time and fell asleep at the end. She liked watching the "monkeys."

On Saturday morning, we slept in and then met for breakfast at Denny's (thank you John & Becky for this fun treat). It was so fun to sit and visit and laugh. We stopped at Old Navy on the way home to get some school clothes for Emily & Lindsey and then drove home. It was a fun little get-away and something we hope to do next year too!
