Rachel's Recital


Rachel's ballet recital was last weekend! She got to get all gussied up in her pink costume--with tutu!--and dance with her classmates on a real stage in a packed auditorium. And she did great! There was even a part where she found herself holding hands with the wrong person (they'd gotten out of order during a chasse step) and had to rearrange the group a bit for the next step--and she did it with as much grace as a 4-year-old can muster. Very fun to watch. She did a few poses for us afterward. Here she is doing an "echappe"--you can see that she's saying the name of the step as she does it...


And here she shows off her best arabesque...


And with that, she is DONE with ballet for a while! Latest interests: swimming and soccer! She's in swim lessons now and loves them. And she really enjoys kicking a ball around the back yard with Daddy-o.
