Chance and Aleah in Denver

This is a GREAT post! Chance has wanted to go to the Broadway play WICKED forever. He has the music memorized and has read the book (ewwwww). When WICKED came to Utah, he was so excited thinking that the time had finally come. Well... He had a leading roll in his school play at the same time so had to miss out again. So when summer came, he started stashing away money for a planned trip to Denver. When he had the dough, he got on line, booked his flight, booked his hotel, bought his wicked tickets, and also made some great dinner reservations at a super "posh" restaurant, got zoo tickets and just planned a all around awesome trip. Okay that being said here is the SUPPERCALAFRAGALISTICEXPIALADOSHIOUS part..... the whole time he was planning this trip he had a little secret....... He was planning it for himself AND for Aleah! He had bought her tickets for the trip as well! Well, the week came for the trip and Aleah STILL had NO idea! She was SOOO jealous of Chance and told him on several occasions just that! We had to get Aleah packed for the trip and she had to get homework etc. for her missing school days so we had to make up a little fib.... We told Aleah that when we took Chance down to Salt Lake City for his flight out, she was going to stay in SLC and babysit for her Aunt Lynndee. Aleah was excited about this and made her plans to go. We woke up at 3:30 in the morning and got ready for our drive to SLC. When we got to SLC we took Chance to the airport. We pulled into the parking terminal and parked. Before we got out of the car Chance turned around to Aleah and said "Aleah, I have something for you before I go" He takes a WICKED ticket with HER name on it out and hands it to her! Aleah looks at it and gets all excited she doesn't know what to say... We say "Aleah what does this mean?" Aleah gets all excited and says "I'm going to WICKED!" We said "Yeah! So what does that mean?" She says "I'm flying to Denver!" We said "YEAH!" She says "THANK YOU CHANCE!" So Chance and Aleah get out of the car, take their bags and into the airport we go! They flew out about a hour later! They stayed in Denver for 3 nights and had a wonderful time! Just our two grownup kids all by themselves! They had a fabulous time and made tons of memories. They loved WICKED and all of the other adventures! Chance, you are a AMAZING brother and Aleah is so blessed to have you for hers!
(I told the kids "Take LOTS of pictures" but they were just to busy having fun so this is what we get, which is all good.) The kids in front of the theatre and at the Denver Zoo.
