Les Mis was wonderful!!! The setting at Tuachan made it perfect. I've seen the traveling Broadway show twice, but this version was far superior. First off, let me tell you that I've been known as a rock -- someone who never cries. I was the one girl at girl's camp who never wept during testimony meeting (all four years!). I rarely showed emotion. Now I have to take it all back -- I'm not sure if it's because I'm a mom, or aging makes me more sentimental, but I was so emotional during the production. I was just amazed at the vocal talent, and of course, the story line was powerful. I've decided that I'm glad I wasn't blessed with an amazing singing voice. If I had to perform, I would cry the whole time thinking, "My voice is so beautiful . . . I'm too moved by my gift!" Fortunately I was a spectator, so only the girls around me noticed my sniffling (thanks to Tricia and Kellie for not openly mocking :) ). I had a blast, and I'm looking foward to other girl jaunts in the future (Wicked, perhaps?).

Too much fun! I couldn't mock because I was moved to tears too. I need these pictures too can you e-mail them? Glad you are back to the blogging world.
I bet the production was amazing at the Tuachan with that red rock background! And don't worry, I know you are still boot camp tough!
Wow! I think your blog should win a prize or something...the word verification says "quilt"! It's a REAL word I can spell! Finally!
Kayelynn, the last time I was at Tuachan was with YOU!! Good memories!
That makes me want to go have a pillow fight or something! I really need to find that picture!
I totally cry now too. Babies...it is all their fault...and I mean everything :)!
That is so cool that you went as a Relief Society! I have heard it was wonderful and wanted to go! That is just a great setting to see any play in! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to hear it was that good. Looks like you all had a blast.
