While getting dressed beforehand Claire asked: "Can I wear my swimsuit?"
Me: "No."
Claire: "But the Nutcracker is in water."
Me: "No, it isn't. It's a ballet and they perform it on stage."
Clare: (walks away with a VERY confused look on her face)
Despite being above ground, we had a great time.
Claire sat mesmerized the whole time, Audra loved it but got tired about 3/4 of the way through and asked to take a nap, and Camille played with toys and cooed through the entire show.
They were ecstatic to go up on the stage after the show:
Then, they got to meet some of the performers:
Here they are with Clara:

I love that ballet. That is so much fun you were all able to go! I have wanted to take my kids but I am not brave enough yet! I don't think it would turn out as well as it did for you!
Is this the one at DU? We are going dec 1 (minus Eliot) and my friends daughters are in it! Fun!
This is a special children's one that a local ballet company does. It's only an hour long- the perfect amount of time for the kids. They come to our local rec center and do it there- plus, it's only 7 bucks, so if it's a bust and you have to leave it's not a big deal. I took Audra last year and it was a success- I think we will make it part of our Christmas traditions.
