The Lion King Feb 7, 2010

I am ready for the show!

We took Emma to her first broadway or in this case "off-broadway" play. It was the Lion King. We tried to make a special day out of it by first going out to a great Vietnamese restaurant before the show. Emma unfortunately fell asleep in the car to the restaurant and ended up sleeping on my arm the whole dinner. We still enjoyed it a lot even Adam's mom who is not a fan of spicy food but I guess it wasn't that spicy. We had Hot and Sour Vietnamese Soup, the Lemon Grass Chicken and the Curry Beef. We also shared some fresh spring rolls in a peanut sauce that I love despite not liking peanuts. Go figure. Emma finally woke up on the way to the theater. It was really cold out so the brisk walk to Bushenell woke all of us up. She loved the show as did Adam's mom and all of us. Emma liked it so much that at the half time break she asked to see it again. She was quite happy to see it come back and continue after break. The show was fantastic, real imaginative and quite entertaining. It was a great experience. Good thing Emma got a nap in since the show lasted almost three hours and it did not finish until 9:15 PM and we didn't get home until 10:20 PM. Below are some pictures of a very tired but happy Emma.
