Mamma Mia

For my moms birthday, I got her tickets to our favorite Broadway show. . . Mamma Mia!  Gay got Aunt Kathy tickets for Mothers Day and we got Mrs. Rockwell to join us!  Mamma Mia came to Grand Rapids during the week, so we decided to go Saturday, Aug 2.  It was SUCH a great time!  Mrs. Rockwell, mom and I met Aunt Kathy and Gay in Lansing at the outdoor mall and ate a wonderful lunch at Bravo!  It was delicious!!  We then continued our drive to Grand Rapids just in time to get in our seats take a few pictures then enjoy the play.  It was such a FANTASTIC cast!  It was the best production of Mamma Mia I have seen... and trust me, I have seen it enough to know!!  After the play came to an end ( :-( ) we all went to the bathroom and took pictures.  We were about the last people in the theatre when Mrs. Rockwell said, "Thats Pepper" (a character in the play)!  We were SO excited and made Mrs. Rockwell go ask him. . . when he said it was him, she asked him to come talk to us!  He was such a nice guy . . .so normal and kind!  I felt like I was meeting a superstar!!  The same cast is going to Chicago in September, so we are planning on going again!! After the play, we went to an authentic Mexican place for dinner and then headed home for the night, of course jamming to the soundtrack (which is about wore out!!)

Happy Birthday, Mom!!
