A Trip to the Ballet--Just the Girls

This afternoon, Blythe and I had a mom/daughter date.  I got us tickets to Ballet in Concert at BYU, and we went to see Fables and Fairytales, the ballet department's touring show that after many years they have brought to Provo to perform.  Part of the show was that the audience members could come dressed in their royal/fairy/princess costumes and meet the dancers/fairies/princesses before the show.  Blythe was very excited and chose to wear her Elsa costume from Halloween.  We mingled with the dancers, had pictures taken, and then watched the show.  The dancing was beautiful, as were the costumes, and Blythe really enjoyed it.  It was fun to be together with just her too.  Kent and I decided at the beginning of the year that we needed to take time to do things with our kids individually, and this was a good beginning.  Below, Blythe had her picture taken with spring fairies and Cinderella, although Cinderella wasn't in her Cinderella costume yet.  We also saw Elizabeth, Ashlyn and Shaylee Elder (sitting on the row behind us), and Sarah Olyler and Kamila Stice who happened to sit down right next to us.  

Per tradition, I suggested that we stop by the Creamery for an ice cream cone after the performance.  Blythe, however, wanted to go to Swig instead, and get the same drink I got last week when we went.  She really did have drink envy last week.  We picked up Sprites with pomegranate and fresh limes, plus a drink for Kent and Brandt too.

 


My phone camera is very grainy.
Since I took these pictures, I have been wondering if the graininess is caused by the phone having been dropped, or if it is just a lousy camera.
