ballet recital . . day one

it's that time of year again when i walk downtown with chanda to her ballet recital at the local community college. it was a warm spring morning . . 

and all the joggers were out . . 


we had packed our lunch and were ready for a long day . . 9 am to 7:30.

 the older class had a long wait as the younger ones all go first . . they never understand why they just can't be called later in the day . . 

 still waiting . . but downstairs and closer to the stage . . which didn't help matters as it turned out . . 

chaos before lunch break . . 

 lunchtime found them all at the salad bar at whole foods still having not run the dance in their costumes . . 

 saying hello to mr. frog and bee again . .

 finally . . after lunch they had their costumes on and were ready to go . . 

the dancers were pleased with their costumes this year . . well, except for the headpieces . . their teacher picked out the dresses and tunics . . someone else chose the headpieces . . 

after the show . . when leaving the theatre we were all . . moonstruck . . 

la bella luna . . 

it had been a long day . . it was so nice to walk home . .
