One of H's Christmas gifts was tickets to the LIttle House on the Prairie musical. Today was the big day! We dropped off the other kids at the Fields' and headed toward Raleigh. But before we went to the convention center, we stopped for lunch at G*lden C*oral (her choice).
I think I was as excited as H because Melissa Gilbert is "Ma Ingalls" in the production. I wanted to meet her when I was little so I was like a kid again. (This was as exciting as when I saw Marie Osmond in The Sound of Music. Remember that, Stephanie and Betsy?)

H and her friend, Alexa. There was so much excitement in the air! H could barely contain herself. :)
The musical was wonderful. If you've ever read the books, then you would have followed right along. After the performance, there was a Q&A session for the home school students.
Who will sit in the empty chair? Could it be saved for HER?
YES!! Melissa Gilbert showed up a little later than everyone else but she answered lots of questions. And I got her picture! Unfornately, they had another performance tonight so none of the cast members stayed around for photos with the kids. But it was a nice experience just the same.
Melissa's youngest son, Michael, plays "Willie Olsen". That's him beside his mom.

I DO remember Marie in the sound of music and I also remember John Schnieder in the Music Man! Good times!
