ballet

for the last year Bluet has been doing ballet at the local ballet school. That meant it was time for a large production. So last weekend Gran Helen, the biggest ballet fan in our family, flew over from the UK in the main to watch Bluet's performance as a fish. This involved numerous dress rehearsals and kept Bluet up late every night over the weekend. And then in the end she was only a small part of the performance as all the other kids in the school also got to perform in 'Rot Blau Gelb'. Still, a tired Bluet seemed to have enjoyed the experience, and it was fun for all of us to see her perform on stage. There were no photos during the performance, so this is what I have:





walking back from the dress rehearsal eating a much needed banana



Meanwhile, whilst Bluet was out dancing Ilona for some reason decided she needed to dress up in her by now far too small zebra costume



Other popular activities whilst Gran Helen was here included colouring masks of animals



and here is Bluet's photo of a rainbow
