Coppelia


Tonight, Tucker and I had a special date night with Jordyn and Lexi. Kristy came and babysat Peyton and we took the girls to see the ballet Coppelia.

BYU Theatre was doing a small tour and one of their stops happened to be near us. So we got the girls ready for a night out. We ate at a small Mexican restaurant and then walked to the beautiful restored theatre for the ballet.


They were quite fascinated and asked a LOT of questions. They stayed pretty focused for 3/4 of the performance, but during last part they could not do a single thing but dance around the side of the theatre. They were so inspired by the ballet, they wanted to imitate it right then and there.


Afterwards I said "Girls, if you keep practicing ballet and listen to your dance teacher, you can do that on stage someday".

To that, Jordyn confidently said "Mom, I can already do it just like them and I am ready for the stage!".

Believe it or not, I forgot my camera for the event.

We even got some Cold Stone ice cream to top off the evening (have you ever tried their seasonal flavor...Dark Chocolate Mint? yummmm)


'Twas a late night, but a fun night.

No camera! I am in disbelief. I guess you can't be on top of everything all the time!
I'm sure you accomplished your goal "memories".
