Scott and I were invited a little while ago by his sister to attend The Wizard of Oz at the Mystique theater in Pocatello and we finally were able to go this last weekend. I was really excited about it (I don't know how excited Scott was, but he went with it). As we are walking into the theater, a little older lady walked in behind us & I just thought she was in the play. We sat down to eat & started browsing through the program and saw this on the back. . .
She is a REAL munchkin from the Movie back in 1939. I guess she makes a living traveling around signing autographs. She was the cutest little lady. I did take a picture with her, but it was on my phone so I couldn't transfer it, but it was the coolest thing. And yes I broke down and paid the $5 to get her autograph. I'm kind of a sucker for those kinds of things. She got up at the beginning before the play started and talked a little bit about the movie and answered some questions. She is one of 8 munchkins still living. (There were 125 in the movie.)
Anyways - it was really cool to meet a real munchkin (a famous person if you will). The play was really good and we had a great time. Thanks Kaci for the invite. We had a great time! (Well, I did!)

Fun times seeing the Wizard! Did it remind of you the old days of doing the Wizard? That was a long time ago. I love checking in on your cute family! (becca rammell)
So fun!!! I bet the play wasn't as good as ours but I'm sure it was close! :)
What a cute little lady. Have fun at the cabin. I left some little kid chairs in the laundry room for everyone to use.
I love that show! I bet the play was really cool. I have been wanting to go see a play at that theatre,I guess I will have to make Brandon take me.
Hey I thought that lady was Scott's girlfriend!! Be honest Scott, and come clean! P.S. my muscles are bigger than yours

Hey Katie! So fun to see your cute family! And I love that you got to meet a real live muchkin! (I'm a sucker for that stuff too...totally would have paid the five bucks.) Do you remember when Amber and I plucked your eyebrows for the first time? Kind of blows my mind that you have two kids now! And they sure are cute! Tell your fam hi!
