Balloons & Theater

We had so much fun on Friday night! We had tickets to see "The Lion King" at the Musical Hall at Fair Park. On our way down to Dallas, we stumbled onto the hot air balloon flight of the Plano Balloon Festival. It was amazing to see so many balloons in the sky!Rex was so excited to see "The Lion King live on stage" as he liked to call it. It was his first broadway show experience. I was a little worried that the late and lengthy performance might be a bit much for him, but he did a great job the whole time. I knew he loved it when he told me that he nolonger wanted to dress up as a Star Wars character for Halloween, but wanted to be Simba (the young lion) instead.
We had great seats for the show (first row balcony on the right & next to the aisle). It was especially neat when the performers came out into the audience for one of the numbers. One of the singers/dancers was right next to us (close enough to touch). We could hear him singing without his microphone...very cool!The late night and all the excitement finally got the better of him. So tired...Rex fell asleep on the way home from the show.
