In the ballet








A Ballet Company out of Santa Barbara Cali came to Pinedale 2 weeks ago for a performance. They asked the local dance teachers in town for some girls that they thought would be able to learn a dance and perform in with them! They gave some ages stipulations (7+), but Hailey;s dance teacher asked her to do it anyway! They went in the day before to have a costume fitting the the company seamstess. There were a lot of adjustments to be made bcause usuallyt he girls are not as small as Hailey, but it was fun for her to have that experience. On Wednesday she got to get out of school early for dress rehersal with the cast. She was toallly star struck because she thought that the "Cinderella" in the ballet was the real thing. I love the innocence of childhood! We got d with dress rehersal with just enought time to grab a bite to eat and head back for the main performance. Dan happened to be out of town on buisness so I got a babysitter for Ethan and had a little girls night with Hailey and Adalyn. Hailey was spectacular as an owl dancing around Cinderella. I think that she has perma smile the entire night. Unfortunately there was no flash photography during the performance so I took some snapshots when I could of her with the group. She can;t wait until they come next year!
