We drove through the 103-degree heat to Zilker Park, where we wormed our way through the crowd and spread out a blanket and picnic dinner... and a game of Go Fish. And then, the Treat with a capital T ... the traditional Austin summer musical: Beauty and the Beast!
This was the Broadway version of the Disney production, by the way, with local actors. And at the end, even though it was 11:00 and way past her bedtime, guess what we snagged?
The holy grail -- a picture with BELLE. (And look how the Princess -- ours -- dresses herself up for an outing with Mom and Dad!)
And look! Gaston, signing her program ...
We'll be paying the piper today, of course, as we drive to San Antonio for a couple days' vacation with relatives and our sensitive daughter endures the aftershocks of sleep deprivation. There will be tears, I guarantee it. I'll need to bask in the memories from last night. Hmmm. Better carry my camera in my pocket, loaded with the photographic proof. Or maybe just trust in the all-sufficient grace, garnished generously with patience.

So sweet that you had that time and so awesome that Eliza got a picture with Belle!! Enjoy San Antonio!
Sounds hot and uncomfortable, but unforgettable for your daughter. Tears not only from sleep deprivation. but also from returning back to earth after the thrill of meeting Belle and Gaston!
So nice you had that quality time with her.
Awww, can I have some quality with your middle child? Maybe while B naps on a Sat, I can steal her away from you all :)
