High School Musical 3....Oh my!

Okay...Try not to be too envious that we spent 5 yes I did say 5 hours outside East High School on Saturday. Why??? Well it was day one one of filming High School Musical 3 and apparently THAT is a big deal to most girls my daughters age!! There were moms there that were willing to throw their own kids under the bus to get a good picture! And really I am not joking. So here are the highlights...The Director stopped and got out to talk to the kids and told them how he was so greatful to them because with out them these movies couldn't be so successful. He was so nice and really took time with the girls. I was very impressed. Then Ashley Tisdale came and drove thru and I gotta say she was a bit snotty....oh well. Then the guy who plays Zack's dad walked up (up he just parked his car on the side of the road and walked up) and was so sweet and took lots of pictures with anyone who wanted one....now I am kickin myself because I should have taken one with him...he was so nice and so stinkin cute in person!!! lol So after about 4 1/2 hours a cute old man drove out and whispered to me "their coming" and in about 2 min. the rest came in..Corbin, Zack, Vanessa and the other main people. Now here is where I have to admitt that I have never seen either 1 or 2 of these movies nor do I know who these kids are...but my sweet, quiet, tomboy daughter was all ga ga when these people showed up. Marc and Bryce took off to grab dinner and while they were gone I did use my womenly ways to get us inside the high school because Taylor had to use the restroom so bad. So we went in and had to cut thru where all the extras were hanging out waiting to shoot. Taylor thought that was soooo cool! Hey, I am not too good to flaunt what I got for my daughter! ha ha Marc thought it hilarious that as soon as the boys were gone I got us in.....What can I say!! But the highlight of my day is that friends/neighbors that moved to SLC showed up and we got to catch up! We miss Sara and Rob Robinson!!! So while my daughter was wanting to scream her head off (her words not mine) I got to have a good conversation with a good friend who was sane and not willing to sacrifice her daughter for some bragging rights!!! ha ha A good day was had by all.....
Taking a food break...

So here are a few pic's from the Kennecott (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) Mine that we visited on Sat. It was really cool and today I learned that this mine can be seen from outerspace (thanks for that info Brent..) It was fun to go thru their visitor's center and lean about the mine and all that is done there..
Bryce being Bryce..
