Craig saw a recent Facebook post that said that Raven was going to be at Disneyland, and hey -- that is like half an hour away from our house.
After texting with Debbie, her mom, Craig and I decided that I could head over to Disneyland and see Raven dance yesterday.
I was a bit intimidated by the idea of driving there. I don't mind the traffic here around our "little" town, but traffic on the 5 in the morning made me a bit nervous. However, I was going against traffic, and it actually took me longer to get on the freeway than I drove on it. That was a happy thing. Also, once again, I am so thankful for the new car that can tell me how to get to places.
I met Deb at her hotel and gave her little Walker's quilt and then we braved the lines to get in.
We look a lot alike. Maybe we are sisters or something. :)
Raven danced at the stage by Small World at 10 am. I was sitting back with the group that Deb was with at the beginning.
This was the closest up picture I could get that far away. So I snuck up to the front.
Raven is amazing. She is so into the moment and so expressive. Joy just radiates from her while she is on the stage. I took a whole bunch of pictures, but only post my favorites.
Love her smile.
Centering with the zoom on is difficult. My bad. Still a cool picture.
A cool picture of her friend.
My favorite picture. Love the intensity.
Saying hi to the star.

I was so glad to be able to go and see her. It is interesting how seeing her perform at Disneyland was easier for me than seeing her perform in SLC. A fun day to spend some time with her and her mom.
