we have had a busy weekend already!
matt and i went to see wicked last night.
i mentioned to matt that i was interested in seeing it, and viola! he surprised me with tickets.
matt claims he has never seen a live play/musical before, so this was a first for him.
and if we're being totally honest, he wasn't in love with the show!
but that didn't really surprise me.
matt thinks dancing is dumb.
he finds absolutely no enjoyment in moving his body to music.
and, unfortunately for matt, wicked has a fair amount of dancing in it..
but, we both agreed that the show was really well done.
and now matt can say he is a bit more cultured!
i am glad we got the chance to go.
i am always fascinated by shows like that.
getting on stage in a silly costume and having to entertain a crowd with song and dance sounds like a horrible nightmare to me.
oh my word, just thinking of that makes my stomach turn!
i am always so impressed by people who have that talent.
this morning, we headed up to C.O.P. (canada olympic park) and spent the morning riding the skyline luge with some of the leavitt family.
C.O.P. is where they held the 1988 winter olympics.
now the park is used for all sorts of fun activities, including the luge.
to do the skyline luge, you ride the chairlift up to the top of the hill, strap on a helmet, hop in a cart, and ride down a special track that switches back and forth down the ski hill.
the ride down takes about 5 minutes. you get going pretty fast!
we did a few runs with kids, and a couple speedier runs without them.
in the end, we all had such a fun time. and we only had one (not too bad) wipeout.
