Wicked Fun

I was lucky enough to be able to head down to Eugene this weekend with LaRue and my friend Laura to go and see Wicked! I was so excited to get to take LaRue with me, we often listen to the soundtrack while driving in the car, and one of my favorite things is to hear Tillie and LaRue belting out the words to Defying Gravity with all the volume they can muster. This makes me so seriously happy.
It would have made more sense to take LaRue to a matinee, but I waited too long to pull the trigger on this one, so we ended up having to see an evening show. Even so we had a really fun, quick little trip!
We arrived in Eugene in the late afternoon and checked into our swanky digsMotel 6 yall! Jelisss?

We had just the right amount of time to change into our fancy clothes, enjoy a yummy dinner and get into our seats with only ten minutes to wait.
So excited!

And SO high up, luckily, none of our noses started bleeding, and we were able to really enjoy the show.
(Just in case anyone is feeling bad for Matilda for not getting to come, I will tell you that she and daddy are going on a special date to the movies this weekend.)

LaRue really had a good time, she was so excited to see the play, and she LOVED staying overnight. When we got to our room she kept saying "I LOVE it here! I never want to leave!"
She said the same thing when we stopped at Dennys for breakfast on Saturday before heading home. Fun weekend!

So much fun! I will now have Defying Gravity stuck in my head all day- and I'm okay with that :). Maybe next year I'll be more on the ball and take Hali...
