Girl's morning at the ballet

This morning a good friend and I took our little girls to see the Royal New Zealand ballet perform 'Angelina Ballerina' ... and a girls trip to the theatre was just what was in order. The two littlies were all dressed up and so very excited, and I must say, Melissa & I really enjoyed the adventure too. With the performance being only 75 minutes long, this show is geared for children, to introduce them to the world of ballet performance, with all children encouraged to don their favourite tutus and clap and cheer loudly during the show (all of which Tara & Gabriella did with great enthusiasm).

Being mindful of keeping two 2 1/2 year olds in the one spot, I prepared some goodie bags for the day, packing in colouring sheets, pens and pencils, stickers and an array of snacks. Thanks to the official Angelina Ballerina website (visit HERE) - for the colouring sheets and bookmarks (which I made by sticking the cut out onto the cardboard of yesterday's discarded breakfast cereal box!).

And then after the girlie stuff was over, and Tara piroutted and arabesqued (oh, and forward rolled... my little gymnast!) her way through the foyer of the Canberra Theatre (yes, she actually did!), some good ol' climbing and jumping was in order.....
