Bennett and Ethan were in their Elementary School's musical last month. They did Jungle Book Jr. and it was one of the most fun activities all year! Bennett was cast as Mowgli and Ethan was little Mowgli and one of King Louie's monkeys. They had practices twice a week for three months and then finally did their performance in April. It was singing and dancing and acting and the boys had a blast. The only thing they didn't like: stage makeup! "We look like girls!!!" they said. "But I can see your eyes from the audience!" I told them. I won, of course. This was Bagheera the panther and the boys
Mowgli and "Monkey 1" after an awesome performance. The scenery was really neat, can you tell!
This was the little baby elephant who wanted to get a picture with Mowgli. She was adorable and sounded just like the elephant on the cartoon, which my kids had never even seen. They finally watched it a few days before the show and kept saying, "Hey, this is just like our show! They sing the same songs!!!" Bennett was asked for a few autographs and a hug I think. He did really good! Some great acting from both boys- I was pleasantly suprised!
The fans after the show...Henry was hilarious- he watched the whole thing from the edge of his seat and would burst into laughter on the funny parts and sing along with some of the songs (he'd heard them multiple times over the last three months!)
The best part- Grandpa Great even made it to their show. He kept saying how wonderful they were and how he couldn't believe they could get these young kids to sing and dance like that! They were truly amazing! Way to go boys!
