Ballet Recital 2012

Well, my girls are done with ballet for the season.  :D  They did well!  I was a little worried they would be nervous in a big theater with lots of people but they just smiled really big and did great!  They did more tap than ballet so I decided that they are done for now until we can find a place that is strictly ballet.

 

We had to drop the girls off backstage and then wait an hour before it even started. Since it was just Charles and I, we considered it to be a little date!  We checked out the lake....

 

 

The art museum...

 

 

Saw some interesting art...

 

 

One of my favorites below.  Death of a Popsicle.

 

 

After a bit we headed back into the theater to watch the girls...

Ashley came out first and she was so brave!  A lot of the girls were following her because she remembered her moves well.  :)

Then Ivy went next.  She was more nervous and a bit embarrassed but she was super proud of herself when it was all finished....

After they finished they walked hand in hand....

 

We checked out the new beautiful bridge nearby...
