Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain...

Sorry for the delay...if any of you have been waiting, that is. We've had a very busy two weeks, mainly with 7 nights of Oklahoma! to keep us hoppin'. The play was a huge success! For those of you that live in places beside Utah, you really can't imagine the quality of theater these schools put out here.

This was a Jr Hi production, and it was really good. I mean, the kind of good where intermission comes and you say, "really? It's been an hour and a half already?" The kind of good where you wish you could get up on stage and dance with these kids.

And the high school performances we've gone to? Phenomenal! This place truly puts as much emphasis on the arts as they do athletics, and it shows. Truly incredible shows here.

Okay, so on to Anya's production. We couldn't get pics of the play itself, but here's her in all three of her costumes.

Yeah, the makeup is a little extreme, but when she was on stage it looked great!

Anya had a great time and we loved watching her perform. (multiple times the parents watched her perform) But, we're all kind of glad it's over. Practice almost every afternoon for 2 months, then night rehearsals, Saturday rehearsals and performances for the last 2-3 weeks. We missed having her around! And she was feeling pretty wiped out!


On another note, some fall pics Karen snapped of Em & Jen while the leaves were still vibrant. They turned out fabuloso!!
