Defying Gravity

Day 72

Yesterday we went to Wicked! It's a musical about the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, and about how she's not really as wicked as you think. I've had the CD for a few years, and I love the music, so it was way fun to see it performed! The costumes were really cool, and the whole show had a lot of energy. So fun.
Okay, so the cool thing about London, how often do you get to say you sat outside the Queen's gates and ate lunch? This is the fountain outside Buckingham Palace. Notice how the pavement is red.

Funny sign on the tube.
We also went to the Tate Britain. They have an awesome collection of guides to going through the museum.I really like the "I'm in a Hurry" collection. It basically says there's not enough time to give you all the details, so just look at these two pictures while you're dashing through.

Primary children are hilarious. My favorite today was a little boy sitting next to me. When we were singing "Away in a Manger" and got to the 'Asleep, asleep' part, he did a different sleeping pose for every asleep. It was really funny. I also enjoyed listening to him tell how Joseph Smith "couldn't join any of the churches 'cuz they were all rubbish."

LOL "rubbish" sounds just like the kind of word a british kid would use, though it's still funny. I'm glad you get to see so many exciting things! We must drink lots of hot chocolate when we get back so you can use your mug.
