More El Bandito

Last summer when we saw "The Hanging of El Bandito" at the Pickleville playhouse we immediately became El Bandito avid fans.  Almost all of us have the soundtrack memorized - Tasha is amazing at rapping all of the parts and Bubba can sing almost all of the words to every song!  I listen to the CD after a long night of working and sing loudly to keep myself awake while driving.  Zane wasn't able to see the play in the summer, but had listened to the soundtrack enough that he was very excited to see the play.  So Zane and Tasha drove up from Cedar for just one day to see the play with us in Salt Lake.

We were not disappointed!  In fact, I'm quite sure that the play is better every time that we see it!  We were just about rolling in the isles in laughter.  Watching Bubba was precious!  He didn't stop smiling the entire two hours!  And he quoted and sang right along with the actors!

After the show, Tasha reported to Bandito that there were a few words of the rap that she couldn't understand, and he took the time to teach them to her!




 I know that I have now seen it three times - but honestly, I'm trying to decide if I can make it work to go and see it again in Logan next month.  Hmmm........

FUN! I saw that is was playing in Logan or somewhere.

I tried to get online today and find some Wicked tickets in TX but I think they might be sold out because it wouldn't bring anything up. Bah!

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
