Labor Day Sunday I did something I have wanted to do for a long time. As a surprise I got tickets for Lion King for my little 8 year old niece. She isn't the type that jumps up and down and shows her excitement. Because she has seen the movie a zillion times it was easy for her to understand the play.

The best part for me (and her too) was the beginning when ALL of the animals walk down the aisle, including an elephant, rhinos etc.

It wasn't until we were at dinner that she got up from her side of the table, came around to me, put her arms around me and quietly said "thanks, Auntie Gini, for my nice surprise." Can you tell I am pretty crazy about this girl?

Labor Day Monday - any labor was out of the question, it was well over 100 degrees here............
Wasen't it amazing? I saw it in Toronto in May and I will never forget it. It was possibly the best broadway show I have ever seen. I was blown away when the animals walked down the isles in the begining of the show and the "Circle Of Life" song was playing! I thought it was incredibly moving. My husband surprised me with tickets and my eyes welled up with tears during the Circle Of Life walk.

What a great Aunt you are I bet your niece LOVED it
