Every once in awhile we do something for the kids just BECAUSE. No real reason...we just love to make them happy. Tonight, Traci surprised the two older kids by taking them into the city to see "The Lion King." They had known for weeks that they were going to have a surprise, but they had no idea what it was. They still had no clue as we parked nearby and walked into the massive Kennedy Center. Finally, Traci revealed the big surprise and their initial reactions were so predictable (at least to us): KATIE - "Are there any other plays we can see instead?", MICHAEL - "I don't want to see a real lion. I'm scared!" But, after these funny reactions, they did settle in and were absolutely riveted for the entire three hours of the show! (Too bad Michael was scared by some audio-visual portions....his sitting on Mom's lap for most of the show nearly did her in. Those seats were not designed for more than one person!) Now on to the next summer adventure: vacation!!!

I saw the Lion King musical one time when it was here in Grand Rapids. That show was really good. Glad you enjoyed it.
