Yesterday Josh surprised me with tickets to go and see Odyssey Dance Theater's "Thriller." I saw this a few years ago with my sister Heather and have thought Josh would really like it. What a sweet husband! He called me yesterday afternoon and told me that we were going to go on a surprise date. I actually had time to get ready and everything while the boys and Josh were at soccer practice. My sweet mother-in-law came and watched the kids and we had a great time! If you haven't seen it I strongly recommend it! Josh and I sat on the front row, which isn't the most ideal spot since we were right up close and personal with the freaky characters, but made it a lot more exciting! I was glad that I wasn't chosen by "Jason" to go up on stage and be his "lunch," like a girl a few people down from us.
The only downfall, is it is pretty scary for little kids. There was a little girl sitting behind us totally crying. The characters walk around at the beginning and are pretty freaky. Not to mention a little intrusive. I felt so bad for her because she was so scared. For the rest of the first act I watched everything from the point of view of a little girl, and she is definitely going to need therapy. Luckily her mom took her home after the first act and I could enjoy the rest of it without feeling like someone behind us was being scarred for life.
It was so much fun and I hope it becomes a family tradition(of course the boys couldn't go until they were 14 in my book)!

I'm sooo jealous! I've seen thriller every year for the last 3 years atleast and I always love it. this year we weren't able to go cuz it was too close to my due date and it's hard for me to sit through something that long, but that was fun when you and I went.

I saw that a couple of years ago & was so disappointed! I absolutely LOVED the dancing but hated everything else they added into it. I guess I was just expecting a dance performance & not the other stuff. But I will probably go see it again someday!
