Going To The Ballet

This weekend was a flurry of activity that found us getting some culture..not the yogurt kind... the ballet kind.   We also attended a wedding...no not that wedding...a more simple affair than the royal one.   Throw in a car issue that involved getting a new tire and that was the weekend in a nutshell.  Of  course I always have to snap a few photos so here goes:
The ballet was put on by the Ashland Regional Ballet and that would not be Jack's first choice on how to spend a Friday night but when it involves your Granddaughter than it's a go!
This was our Addy's first ballet recital and her part involved being a sea creature.  It was the cutest thing ever.  Seeing all the little ones as well as the more experienced dancers was more fun that we had thought it would be.  Addy just got interested in dance so at 9 she's a little later than some.  She really was excited and afterward she was beaming!  We'll see if she sticks with this but that's how you find out what you like in life and your talents.  Bravo little sea creature!
So proud of her!
Her sister, Lexi, was cheering her on.  Lex does gymnastics so it was her turn to be a spectator.  Saturday rolled around and of course we all know there was a special wedding being broadcast.   I watched part of it and it sure seemed to be a fabulous affair.  Even the weather cooperated with sun and very blue skies.  We had a wedding to attend also.  It was out in the country about an hour from home.  However, the weather was iffy.   Sun, rain, sun, rain...it wasn't quite the elaborate pomp and ceremony of the royal couple but it was enjoyed all the same.  We did get rained on but the reception was inside so that worked out OK.
Small and simple was how the couple wanted it and they seemed very happy. 
Hey, I thought Jack looked dapper enough for even a royal wedding!  Well, back to work in the AM and more fun ahead and more blog moments.  This month is flying by!

Ballet? Ugh. Oh wait....GRANDDAUGHTER, must have been great!

Always enjoy the youth performing in the different arts. I hope your granddaughter keeps up her pursuit of ballet! I think couples who choose small for their wedding is a good thing; so much stress goes into the day when big affairs are planned and some people forget to plan for afterwards. Small is always good in my books! This month indeed is flying by!

Hi, YaYa!

I didn't know you are a member of the social elite, dear friend! :) You and Jack spent the weekend painting the town with other members of high society, attending both a ballet and a wedding. Congratulations to grandkiddo Addy on finding a passion and diving in. That smile on her face tells all. I think Addy looks a lot like you, YaYa. Hooray for Lexi for being on hand to offer praise and support of her sister. We all need to sincerely encourage and congratulate each other on our achievements. That's how we make a better family, a better community and a better America.

You're right. Dapper Jack looks like he just stepped off the cover of Gentlemen's Quarterly! :) Have a wonderful week, dear friend YaYa!

I love watching our young’un no matter what they’re doing.
Jilda and I had tickets to the ballet in Gainesville in April buy her brother had heart issues and had heart surgery so we stayed in town.

What pretty girls, they look so sweet!
Richard and I also attended a wedding this May, and it was in a barn! It wasn't fancy at all but it was really beautiful and special. It SHOULD have been on TV! (The crowd would have been wowed by my dress, I am sure. LOL)

your grand is beaming I think she found her love of dance. Miss B recital is in a couple of weeks but this is her third year! She has a dancer mom.
Oh those outside weddings I always worry for them.
