Kaleidoscope 2009, The Canadian School of Ballet

posted in: Motherhood, Uncategorized 1

My beauties ready for their evening ballet performance at the Kelowna Theatre. Tabs danced “Catching Butterflies” and Mist “Stardust.” They were both so elegant.
Pip looking like an elegant audience member in her giant rhinestone necklace from her Great Aunt Penelope(name sake).
Granny (my wonderful Mom) with the girls. Gran helped dress and make-up the girls and drove them to the matinee while Peter and I were at the University. She has helped with Kaleidoscope every year now for four years! The second year, she and my sister Theresa did it without us as Peter and I were in Florida (Pip wasn’t born yet). They spoiled them silly!
Our family before the big event. The girls received red rose bouquets in the dressing room after their performances.
Tabs, ready for the show (almost–the shoes had to go…).
The Lovely Mist–those are rhinestones in her hair.

We had a great meal pre-show at Earls on the waterfront. I shall post those pics later. It was crazy–I knew nearly everyone in the restaurant that night for some reason. I rather liked that–Kelowna seemed like a small place after all–either that or I was super popular(lol)–either way it was all good.
My sweet (newly blonde bombshell) mom left for home this afternoon. We had a short visit with my sis Theresa and Kyran as they headed home from Salmon Arm. Theresa took home my dear and wild dog Fernando to visit with her dogs. He shall have a 2 week vacation with his cousins (that is if he doesn’t first drive Theresa crazy with his antics!). Miss that crazy beast already–go figure?
 Pip has been collecting pet ants lately. She adores insects. I REALLY want to get some preying mantis pods to add to my garden. Apparently they hatch and eat all the insects. And they are adorable! They are the cutest little critters. They hold their food tenderly in their little hands as they eat it. Yes, I not only love spiders but other insects too. Good thing I married Peter–he grew up with insects–his dad was an entomologist.

    I had a great time in Kelowna, as usual. Tabi and Misty danced beautifully and Pippi was the best applauder in the world at the performance.
