Lion King with Hannah

I was able to take my niece, Hannah, to see Lion King the musical at Fair Park on October 6th. I had lots of fun introducing something new into her experiences. She had not been to big musical like that before. Sure she has seen the musical that is done at church every summer but it really doesn't compare to the "big stage." She was so funny about wanting to see everything. She got so excited seeing the elephants, giraffes, and zebras. She liked was tuned in like she would for a TV. It made me so happy to see that she will enjoy the arts like I do. She would really get into the songs and tap her little foot to the beat. Every once in awhile she would tell me she really liked what she was seeing. Some of the characters where hard for her to distinguish. She had a hard time recognizing Rafiki and Nala. She definately knew who Simba, Mufasa, Timon, and Pumba was. Poor girl fell asleep the last ten minutes or so of the musical. I glad she did then instead of earlier. The end would be very similar to the beginning for a four year old. I had to wake her up and she was MAD. I asked her if she wanted a souvinour and she said NO. Then I wasn't really sure if she had fun. Then today, October 15th, I talked to my dad and he took her to the State Fair again. He said she talked abou the Lion King the whole day. How it had people that was dressed up as Mufasa, the Pig, the Meerkat, and Simba and they all got together for a big sing-a-long. Apparently she talked about it all day, too. I am glad she had fun. I can't wait to do something like this again. Hopefully we can do it in New York City or London someday.
