Peter Pan

After months of hard work the girls performed Peter Pan.  Emily and Kate were fabulous pirates.  Kate gave us lovely smiles and Emily held her head up with drama from beginning to end.  

Lily made a beautiful, deliberate mermaid - leading the rest of the mermaids in their core intense dance.  They did boat pose and side planks - holding the pose for quite a while in a very slow, gorgeous dance sequence.  She hated the wig but the audience loved the look.

Our pirates also spent one dance as Indians then did a quick change to end the show as pirates.

The whole production was beautiful.  Probably the best so far.  

We had to get some silly pictures in their sunglasses before we headed home.  The girls love to dance although they had a tearful goodbye to Clara who has been a fabulous mentor to them for the last several years.

 Brooke, Val, Sammie, Rachel, Grandma and Grandpa Dame, the Dombroski's and Emily's young women's class all came to watch.  Lucky girls.

Yellowstone

Early in the year we planed a Yellowstone trip right after the dance production...then the dance performance dates were change to the week after our trip.😩. Kate decided she couldn't miss so I stayed home with her while the other kids went to party in Yellowstone.  We also brought Fernando, who after our Point Reyes trip wanted more animal opportunities before returning to Spain.

Since I wasn't there I don't have a lot of commentary - they stopped at Freddy's - yum.

Photoed chipmunks in order to correctly identify the species.

This mating dance was cool.

Another new state for Nando.

Badger again - wow! must be Nando luck.

and a river otter - wish I had seen that.

Hey Bunny.

Natali hadn't been to Yellowstone in 2 years - so she needed lots of selfies.

Can't get enough of this place.
