The Lion King

Every year the students in KHS music department are

able to go to a wonderful musical in Vegas. And they

allow other people to buy discounted tickets too.

(Which is really nice! Thanks Merilee!) Last year

we went to Phantom of the Opera, this year was

THE LION KING

This year Terry & I traveled down to Vegas together.

We dropped Mason off with Terry's parents in St George

on the way, Kelsie & Delaney rode the school bus. Kalin,

Kennedie & Kierra rode down with Jill.

So Terry & I got some time alone, which doesn't

happen very often. We have such a great time together-

which reminds us of why we fell in love in the first place.

We had a great date!

On the way down we passed the bus...

It got pulled over! You can see the cop talking to

the bus driver - I guess he was going a little too fast.

I think the kids thought that was pretty funny!

In Mesquite we met up with Kelsie.

This is her last music trip since she'll be graduating in May.

After the show, Xpress continued to California to perform at

Disneyland

She had a great time!

Our crew... My Mom, Kristin & Bailey, Melinda & her

family all got to go! We all had a great time!

The show was WONDERFUL!

The way they made the animals come alive on stage

was just amazing! They followed the movie pretty

closely, but ad-libbed some current comments.

It was cool to see how they adapted it to a stage, they

really made you feel like you were right there on

the African savannah. The voices were just like the characters

in the movie. The orchestra was great! I'm amazed by

the talent - the music, dancing, and acting was fabulous!

Especially the kids! Wow!

Scar & Mufasa

Simba & Nala

Everyone enjoyed the show, then

we drove home. We got home at 3:30 am,

and the bus got home at 4 am, which made

us all a little tired the next day, but it was

well worth it!!! The kids loved it!

Can't wait for next year!
