Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better...

We went to see "Annie Get Your Gun" at the Post Playhouse at Ft. Robinson last week. We took the kids because, well, it had a western theme and they would be shooting blanks out of real guns. And for our kids, that's just plain cool. Before the show, we hit the restaurant at the fort for some tasty vittles. I had a proud mama moment when, after we finished our meal and got up to pay and leave, Caroline gathered her plate, silverware & cup and began looking for the "kitchen" so she could clear her things from the table like she's expected to do at home. Such a sweet, good, helpful girl! Both kids loved the show, and Caroline had a hard time sitting still during the song & dance numbers. She wanted to turn & dance along. I hope the people sitting behind us didn't mind her hoe-downing periodically during the show. We covered both of their ears during the shooting parts of the show - it was pretty loud! - but Clayton thought it was awesome anyway! The most fun, though, has been since we've been home. I'll occasionally break into singing "Anything You Can Do..." and Clayton will join in with "No, can't!" at the appropriate part of the song. So stinkin' cute. Too bad I didn't get any pictures!
