The Little Mermaid Ballet


 

Heidi danced in her first ballet production this week. She was a fish in the Little Mermaid and danced to the song "Under the Sea"- a dance she has been practicing with her class since September. She got the full experience from wearing stage makeup (she thought she looked like a clown and didn't like how she careful she had to be about touching her eyes), running through hours of dress rehearsals in the morning, then dancing in two shows in the afternoon. Natalie and I went to the first show and I took the girls out to lunch between the rehearsals and the first show. We ended up at Rio Grande and Heidi said it is the best restaurant and she wants to go there again. All she got was nachos and rice off the kids menu, but she loved it. Natalie had fun too, but wasn't as thrilled as her sister.

I was hoping to get a picture of Heidi on stage even if it was after the show, but no videos or photography were allowed and all the kids were sent off stage after the final bow to get ready to get picked up in the back, so the only pictures I got were at the back of the building. She got a little break between shows then Austin took her back for the second show. He and Asher met his parents there and they all watched the second show. It was a long, but fun day for her.
