A girls' night out...to the Nauvoo Pageant!

Here are the photos from my jaunt to the Nauvoo Pageant on July 12th. I went with Melissa, a good friend of mine. :)

At the pageant pre-show...
This was a round dance and it's always reminded me of Ceili dancing...

Here are the pipers; one of my favorite parts of the pre-show!
Both Melissa and I tried out the round dancing, but these were the only pics I was able to take of her dancing, simply because I desperately needed a break. At least I danced off the calories I had taken in at the Relief Society slumber party the night before and the morning of, and that was good, considering the fact that I'd overslept and missed an opportunity to play ultimate frisbee. *lol*


This year I was able to sit closer to the stage than ever and it was awesome so afterward we were able to get to some of the actors more quickly. A lot of them Melissa knew because she worked on it last year. This woman, Alex, played Leonora Taylor, wife of future prophet John Taylor. :)
He was portraying King Follett. "Your Majesty!" :)

I can't remember this woman's name, but she portrayed Vilate Kimball (I think!) and she was a sweetheart.
Johnny, aka Heber C. Kimball, was awesome! We talked for a bit, posed for a picture, and then he gave me a big hug! He was so sweet. :D
Sadly I wasn't able to get a picture of Paul, aka Parley P. Pratt, this time but maybe he'll be there next year. And who knows, I might be in it next year. :)
