The Ballet

Saturday night, Curtis and I went to see "Alice in Wonderland" the ballet, performed by a local youth organization.  I had never been to a ballet so didn't really know what to expect.  Curtis said he was excited and scared.  As soon as it started and he saw the dancers in their costumes (especially pretty girl Alice), he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, and kept turning to smile at me for at least the first ten minutes.

It helped that he had seen the Disney movie a couple times, so he knew what was going on, since there was no talking or singing.  He knew who the characters were and was excited to see each new one appear.  I thought it was very well done, considering it was local talent, ages 5-16 (I'm guessing).  I know the moms of two of the little girls.  It was mostly girls, but there were four or five little boys.  The little 6-year-old King of Hearts was so cute next to the big 16-year-old Queen.

After the show, Curtis wanted to go say hi to Alice, and he asked me to take a picture of her.  Then he was pretty excited about his red rose sucker!  We had a great little "date night."
