HA with President Monson

Last night, we visited the night show at PCC - HA: the Breath of Life.  I LOVE this show - love the story, love the dancing, love the music - EVERYTHING.  Last night was especially good, however, because our prophet, President Monson, and an apostle, Elder Eyring were in attendance.  They are here, of course, for the dedication which will take place on Sunday.  I was a little worried how the girls would handle an hour and a half in a dark show, but Malia and Kina LOVED it.  They were totally attentive the whole time and energetically clapped whenever a section was done.  The first thing Malia noticed was that all the dancers had "long hair".  She pointed it out a few times - she's obsessed with having long hair.  ha ha  I was so tickled the kids enjoyed it and was very grateful to witness such a special night.

After the show, the whole cast gathered and sang, "Teach Me to Walk in the Light"
for the prophet.  It was beautiful.  President Monson smiled and clapped and graciously
posed for everyone that was taking pictures of him.


After the show, Malia was SO excited to take pictures with the dancers - she RAN down to the stage.
After taking this pic,Pewa introduced her to all the girl dancers - she was in HEAVEN.

Ricky and Pewa are two of the few dancers that still there from the time that I danced at PCC -
hey, it wasn't THAT long ago. lol  It's so nice to see old friends.  

*Something I want to remember - 
When the tutu (it was Sis. Enos) came to dance for the little Mana, Malia said, "Look! It's a Grandma.  Just like you, Granmma." [pointing at Mom]
