st. george 2011: tuacahn

One of our favorite things we did in St. George was watch The Little Mermaid at Tuacahn's outdoor theatre. Halle was so excited to be seeing Ariel on the stage. Grandma Nimer treated us to some great seats and a wonderful night together. She even babysat Lily. I had forgotten how beautiful the Tuacahn stage and it's surroundings are.
The musical was fantastic! The costumes were amazing and the singing was excellent. Halle especially loved seeing Prince Eric fall off his ship and Ariel's transformation into a human. It was very well done. Sebastian was hilarious and Ursula was just right. We need to take advantage of this great place more often.
The only issue with toddlers and Tuacahn is that they start the play around 8:45 at night so it is not so hot and so most of the stage will be in the dark as it progresses. By 11:30 when the play was over Halle was practically delirious. She started crying on the way home about nothing and then shouted, "But Grandma Nimer doesn't have any boogey sticks!" Boogey sticks are q-tips and I had no idea she called them that and yes, grandma has some and Halle didn't even want one when we got home even though she cried about it the whole way. That girl needs her sleep. Thank you grandma for the enjoyable night out with the kiks.
