Wizard of Oz

The Johnson five plus Grandma and the Friederichs went to see The Wizard of Oz at the Ordway Theater on Sunday. It was the boys' first actual play, they didn't know what to expect and we didn't know how they'd react but.....THEY LOVED IT!!!! We really lucked out with the seats we had, our own little balcony off to the side with a front row of 4 seats just for the kids. Paxton sat up the entire show, barely moved a muscle, in complete awe of every character and every word and song. He has loved this movie for so long and now he was watching it in real life. I think I enjoyed watching him more than the actual show. And to be expected, Hudson took in all the details. "Where did the witch go when she melted?" "What was Toto's real name?" "Why didn't the witch wear a witch's hat?" On our way home he said he wanted to go to a play again, but not to a different one, the Wizard of Oz again. And a big thank you to Uncle Arnie who stayed home with our little princess!! Harlow was so excited to have Arnie babysit her and I think they both had a good time together. SUCCESS on all accounts!
