Shannon and Sarah tried again for the "Wicked" lottery on Saturday. That's where you go to the theater and stand in line for a chance to win tickets to see the play.
That left Ben, Brandon, Emily and Matt to find an adventure of their own. They decided to go to Pasadena. That way, if Shannon and Sarah didn't win tickets, they could meet the rest of the bunch there. Once Matt and the kids arrived in Pasadena, Ben recognized a Johnny Rocket's hamburger place so we had lunch.
They sat a the counter which was a fun experience.
Emily had Matt put clips in her hair. He wasn't sure what to do with them but, keeping her hair out of her face seemed like the practical thing to do so he went for that.
While they were having lunch in Pasadena, Matt got a call from Sarah. She WON tickets! They got to see WICKED from the front row center orchestra seats!! Since Shannon and Sarah weren't going to Pasadena, Matt and the kids decided to head over to Griffith Park to visit Travel Town.
The kids enjoyed climbing through the trains.
On the second Saturday of every month they have a walking tour through the passenger trains. This is an old dining car. All the cars were in need of restoration and repair.
This one is an old parlor car called "The Little Nugget."
It was great fun to see all the old trains!
Sarah's favorite part was the "Popular" number... Here Galinda teaches Elphaba about being popular and how to toss your hair. "Toss, Toss with no hands!"
After the WICKED performance, Shannon and Sarah stood in another line outside the stage door for autographs! Sarah got her program signed by Glinda the Good! She was very nice and just as perky as she is on stage! They waited for Elphaba, but they said, she couldn't come out... maybe getting all that green make-up off takes some time!!!
