MUSICAL--Little House on the Prairie

Felicia and Valerie (dear friends of ours) put together a "girls' night out" on the town, seeing Little House on the Prairie, the Musical! I must say that I wondered how that would go--a MUSICAL of Little House on the Prairie? I am a huge fan of the books though, so thought it must be pretty good (it was awesome!). Anyway, first we all congregated at the W house.

Time for a group shot! Back row L-R: Felicia, Briana, Brooke, Elizabeth, Valerie. Front Row L-R: Katie (me), JoAnna, Laura (the star of the night--Laura is the main character in LHOTP for those of you illiterates reading my blog *wink*), and Kendra.
Try it another way! (remember, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger!).
Sweet sisters in matching bonnets! Quite authentic.
Even Val had one!
Ellie and I.
OK Long story behind this one--let's just suffice it to say that Val was NAUGHTILY planning to prank me when I came early to change from work, but I ended up not coming early so she didn't get the pleasure! HA HA! Better luck next time, Val my friend :)
After chattering at the W house for a while, we drove to the theater (Buell Theater in downtown Denver) for the actual event!
The only picture Fia got in the sacred theater. Let me tell you, those guys were strict, and everywhere! We asked a lady to take a picture of all of us in our seats, and the worker wouldn't even allow THAT! I guess the chairs were really precious.
So out in the lobby we trooped for more pictures than you probably want to see! Well too bad.
The prairie girls show us their bonnets.
Hip and cool Prairie Gals!
OK now all the rest of these are sort of small, so click on them to see. Laura is standing on the chair because, um, her name is Laura. We had a ton of fun!

Smilessss!
I think Ellie forgot what she was supposed to do! Love you E :)
Fia's turn to be in a picture.
Fun.

Then we asked a guy to take our picture--he was only too happy to *wink*
Don't worry-we didn't ask any guy to take this picture! I think Brooke took it. Felicia had this interesting idea that we all pretend to run. Have you any idea how hard that is? Get up off your computer chair and try it (no ACTUAL running, just looking like you are). Yeah, now you believe me that it's hard!
This was a good idea--reminds me of the Bon Trap Family singers in the Sound of Music when they do that cuckoo song.

What are these two going to do next? (One never does know, you know!)
Check out that AIR! We were all going to do this in sister pairs but sorry, you will have to miss me acting like a nut because right after we snapped this picture, the workers interfered again because we were the LAST ONES and they wanted to close up shop. HA HA. We had no idea. We'd been so into taking pics :)
Outside Valerie, against the better judgment of her friends, promptly fell in love with rather a large man who was the doorkeeper. We just had to tear her away, poor thing.
They had snowflake lights on the sidewalk and I think I was the only one enamored with them (or I was the only one who noticed them--who knows?).
That's all for now! Thanks for a "loverly" time ladies :)
