Sarah (Jordan's good buddy) and Jordan on the way to see the "Phantom of the Opera". This is one of my favorite musicals and I was so excited to take Jordan to see it. My sweetie and my Dad, like me, love the music so much. I contacted my friend, Chris, and we decided to take the girls. After purchasing the tickets, I began to wonder if they were old enough to go. I have the movie so I watched it several times with Jordan before going. She was hooked. She absolutely loves it!!
I also listened to the CD in my car with both my girls for the month before. Katelyn loves the songs as well. Sidenote: She likes the ones where the "Phan" sings. She doesn't call him the Phantom but Phan :) Both girls are adorable singing along...
Before attending the musical, we went to Spaghetti Warehouse for a yummy lunch. What a gorgeous day outside.
At Spaghetti Warehouse, they gave us seats in the train car. Too cool.

The girls at the Phantom of the Opera show.
They loved the show and had to have Phantom masks. I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful time it was for me. There were not that many kids at the 2 PM Sunday afternoon performance -- mostly adults. I looked over at my daughter during the performance many times and took pleasure in the look on her face. She was enthralled. She knew all the songs and the story which I think really helped. As stated, she loved it and I loved being there with her so much. I was sharing one of my most favorite musicals with my precious, precious girl.
Jordan and I at the performance. When we first got to the show and sat down, Jordan started telling two couples sitting behind us all about the show. One of the ladies asked Jordan if she was 7 or 8 years old. Jordan replied "I'm 5". The lady then asked Jordan where she went to school and Jordan told her. The lady said "no surprise there." I was so proud of my Jordie Bear. I love how friendly she is and how she loves people. She is not inhibited to talk to anyone.So after the show, Jordan decided a new career path for when she grows up. This is her second change. She now wants to be an actor in the Phantom of the Opera show! She at first said she wanted to be a Super Ballerina when she grows up. She changed it this year to a Musketeer like the Barbie and The Three Musketeers movie and practised her musketeer moves all the time. Now she wants to be in the Phantom of the Opera.
We, of course, got Katelyn a Phantom mask as well. Boy did she love it! Some day she will be old enough to take to the show and I will definitely do so.
