Princess Ballerina

 

What a fun experience we had last week when we got to see our adorable grand daughter in a full production ballet of Hansel and Gretel at the Oregon City High School. Madison's favorite part was getting to play a skunk where she got to "spray" Hansel. All of the Woodland animals were adorable. I got to watch several rehearsals and I don't think they ever did that part of the dance without giggling. There were six little girls who came out one by one as a different animal. The last two animals were a skunk and a porcupine. All the girls would giggle when the skunk sprayed Hansel and then Hansel backed into the porcupine. Even the night of the performance they giggled as they skipped around Hansel and Gretel.

In the second act Madison was a cute little gum drop. She danced and skipped and twirled around like any little ballerina. She is really quite good.

As an added treat, Grandpa got to be an usher for her final performance. He wore his Tux to make her evening extra special.
