Sin City, here I come!

Hi everyone! It has been about two weeks since I posted anything on my blog but I thought that I would let you all know that I made it back home to Wichita on July 10th. I had a fun two months in Tulsa, OK performing there with a lot of crazy talented folks. Here is a link to a webpage of some of the photos you can flip through to see photos from the productions: http://photos.davegribbin.com/Light-Opera-of-Oklahoma. Now that I am back home, things have been super busy and I am not wanting to do much but relax. Luckily, I have been able to stay focused, especially since I am headed to the Fabulous Las Vegas this Saturday for a family vacation. I can not wait to be there and see the beautiful sites and soak in the culture that is Sin City. Then, after I return, I have two days here in Wichita before taking off to North Carolina to visit my sister and her family. Finally, after that trip, I begin school on August 2nd taking an online pre-session. YUCK! I have a feeling this will not be a fun class but I need to take it in order to graduate. Well, I best be going because I need to clean my room and get ready for our Vegas Trip. I want to see every Elvis impersonator I can and win big bucks! Luck Be a LADY!

Oklahoma Float Trip

While staying in Tulsa, OK for the summer, we have also had several opportunities as a cast to take breaks from rehearsing and performing shows. On our day off, some of my close friends from Light Opera Oklahoma decided to take a float trip down the Illinois River in Tahlequah, OK, a city about an hour and half away from Tulsa. It was a ton of fun! For thirteen bucks a person, we were able to rent an inner tube and travel down the Illinois River for three and a half hours. Luckily, we packed food and ice cold beverages to help get through that amount of time. I truly felt like Huck Finn traveling down that river and seeing fish and river rocks along the way. There were several areas along the way where we could stop and take a snack break and skip rocks as well as swing from ropes and jump into the river. It was my first float trip down a river and if you haven't taken one, I would highly recommend it! On the other hand, the fun here in Tulsa, OK is winding down to a rapid end. I have about nine more days here until I return back home to Wichita. Then, as a family, we will be taking off for Las Vegas, Nevada and North Carolina to visit family and friends! I can't wait!
