Peter Pan

Living in Utah means being surrounded by some pretty amazing, talented people.  Just stop into any junior high or high school school in the valley during play week and you will be know exactly what I'm talking about. Such was the case with this years production of Peter Pan. It came full with flying and fairy dust. The kids rehearsed for months and pulled off a magical show. By the end of the night they even had me clapping and repeating the words, "I DO believe in fairies!" Although Analisa was regretting having to put tennis on the back burner due to rehearsals, she was glad for the sacrifice in the end. There is something special that bonds the kids together during the process and memories that will be remembered for years to come. Just ask Brett. He recently rekindled a friendship with his former leading lady from Little Abner, whom he found on you know where. It's all good though. It's all good.

Here is Lisey helping one of the lost boys with his stage make-up. 

Not bad, don't you think?

Here she is with her good friend Leisl in their pirate attire. She could have easily done without the silly wig given that she has long dark locks herself. Oh well. She's just glad it didn't fall off which almost happened in the following clip. 

One of the really great and not so great things about Wasatch is that every single person who tries out for the play gets a part. Which means the cast consisted of nearly 200 junior high kids. Our gorgeous indian princess is wearing the blue dress with the orange headband. I tried to zoom in on her so as to see her lovely high kicks. Fun stuff.

What a cute dance and the costumes are great too! I sure hope there will be opportunities like that for Gabi next year in high school. I wouldn't know, since Spencer wouldn't be doing anything like that.
Oh, and she is such a pretty dancer too! I'm so proud!
