Dancing Queens!

Since the girls dance with civic (city) dance teams, they have their recitals down at Balboa Park - a beautiful location for fun times! Since they dance tap and ballet at different locations, we had two different recitals to attend - one on Friday for Brooke's ballet and one on Saturday for Ashley and Brooke's mutual tap class. For their tap routine, they were both on the very back row the whole time, but Ashley led one of the lines that walked all the way around the stage, and I seriously thought she was going to panic in the car on the way down. At dress rehearsal she had gotten a little nervous and had forgotten some parts, but as she put it, "When I did it for real, I totally got it right!" They were both so excited to perform on the big stage. We tried to have a picnic before the two performances but both days we didn't quite make it there as early as we wanted (they have to be there an hour early anyway), but the kids main request was watermelon so they got a chance to eat that before and then we took some time to relax after!

We finished off the day with Kung Fu Panda, which I, for one, found HILARIOUS! How can you not laugh at belly fat humor?
