Coincidentally it was also our ward's Father's & Son's campout, which made it a little more difficult for a girl's night since we had to find babysitters. Here are Dallin & Arthur all packed and ready to head out.
(Poor Sean missed out because Arthur has a rule that you have to be potty-trained to go on Father's & Son's. But it didn't phase Sean a bit. He didn't seem at all concerned that Dallin was going somewhere with Dad, and he wasn't.)
So tonight, we had ten daughters and seven mothers in our group. A lot of other people had the same idea- we saw lots of little girls & moms there tonight dressed in PINK!
Me and Daphne in our pink.
With our pink tickets.
(As an aside, I have to confess that for a very long time I didn't like the color pink at all. In fact, I thought if I ever had a girl I wouldn't even dress her in pink--I'd do purple and turquoise or other girly colors, but not pink. But once I had my little girl in my arms, my opinion of the color suddenly changed, and now we are both pink fans.)
"Pinkalicious!" is based on the picture book, of the same title, and I was really wondering how they were going to make a whole musical out of that short picture book. It was about an hour long (perfect for a kindergarten attention span,) and I've gotta say, it exceeded my expectations. It was really cute and Daphne and I just laughed and laughed--the gal who played "Pinkalicious" did a great job!
Funny story about this picture: All the girls just loved "Pinkalicious." But they weren't so sure about her brother "Peter" (who, as you can see, turns pink at the end of the story --why? well because he ate too many pink cupcakes, of course.) So when we found the two of them after the show and were trying to take the picture, the six little girls all huddled around "Pinkalicious" and no one wanted to stand next to Peter, who gallantly tried not to take it personally.
(But really, can you blame them? ;)
We had to do a little regrouping to make things more even.
What could be better than strawberry milkshakes after the show?
It was a perfectly Pinkalicious time!

What a great idea! We have Father's and Sons in a few weeks. Chip doesn't get to make the rules. My rules are as long as they are 2 years old they get to go camping! What can I do with Taytum and a newborn?
Thank you so much for inviting us to Pinkalicious and getting tickets. Kirra LOVED it and I really had a great time. We are lucky to have so many little girls around that are the same age as ours! Next year Keian won't need me so soon and we'll do dessert after with you.
That was the best!! Thanks so much Sharee for getting the tickets! Rachel and I had a great time. I need to do more mother daughter activities, Thanks for thinking of us!!
