I have about a billion pictures to post of our visit from grandma and the 4th of July, so stay tuned . . .
However, I wanted to quickly write about how cool my city is. The more things I discover here, the more I love this place. We are particularly loving the free cultural performances in the parks this summer.
A week or two ago, we went to see the Boulder Ballet do a fabulous performance in the park. We took a picnic dinner, spread our blanket on the grass, and settled in to enjoy the ballet. We went early enough to watch them warm-up and then enjoy the performance. The dancing was wonderful.
Below the state was a large open area, and the children quickly took over the space as their own personal stage. Katelee LOVED it! She would would stop and stare at the dancers for awhile and then join the dancing children as she tried to mimic the ballerinas.
(Can you see Katelee sitting on the stairs - in the orange dress with pink flower in her hair? She was mesmerized by the dancers.)
Katelee performing some of her own dance moves.
At one point near the end of the performance, the children were invited on stage to learn and practice a few basic ballet moves. Katelee was front and center, and very excited to be up there.
What a lovely way to spend a summer evening!
