Last week Mum and Dad took me, Maya, Sara, Alyssa and Kate to the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City. Dad arranged for me to use his laptop with its wireless internet in the car so that I could do my work on the drive down. He and Mum were very thoughtful and arranged everything so that we would have a great time, which we did. The didn't let us pay for a single thing ourselves, including the souvenir masks that Maya and Kate got. Thank you Mum and Dad!
We got to Cedar City on Monday in time for all seven of us to see Pride and Prejudice. Maya loves Pride and Prejudice and had just watched the BBC film the week before. Ever since seeing the play she loves it even more. She wants to get an American Girl doll that looks like Elizabeth Bennet and she is planning on dressing up as Lizzy for Halloween. I am really enjoying how much she enjoys that story - it is so much fun to share our love for it together.
Besides seeing the play, Maya was excited to stay in a hotel. She and I were in a room with Sara and Kate and the girls found the whole experience exciting: the door keys, the buffet breakfast, the pool, running back and forth between Mum and Dad's room and ours. I think if we went and stayed at a hotel near home for a few nights Maya would consider it a perfect vacation!
On Monday night the girls went to child care and Mum, Dad, Sara, Alyssa and I went to see Much Ado About Nothing at the outdoor theatre. It was such a good production. I am in constant awe of the ability of the actors to remember all of those lines! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
On Tuesday afternoon the girls went to child care again and the rest of us saw The 39 Steps. I can see why Tara reviewed it so well on her blog. It was hilarious. This is definitely a play Josh will enjoy and I look forward to seeing it again with him someday.

I really enjoyed this mini trip. Thanks Mum and Dad, for taking us.
It was a fun trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it too.(Even though I fell asleep for short periods in all three plays!)
So much like Liesa...she's always falling to sleep!
That was Dannii....i don't know how to not be Anonymous! So glad you all had fun.
That sounds great. Greg and I went there once and really enjoyed it. Glad you like the 39 Steps.
Oh, you're making me regret my decision to not go!
I am excited to see Dannii commenting!! That looks like a lot of fun. I really needed to have a girl!
