Not Quite the Bolshoi, but The Crittergals did Great!

The Crittergals had their spring ballet performance the weekend after Mother's Day and they did a spectacular job.  It was quite the hectic weekend leading up to the performance though.  The girls had a full dress performance, yes that means hair and makeup, thank God Grandma B was there to do the hair.  To say it was warm that weekend would be an understatement, it felt as though Tallahassee had relocated to the surface of the sun.  Unfortunately for the girls they had to wait outside before their rehearsal, it was a tad warm.

The performance was on Sunday at 5pm, yes you are reading that right, they had the 4 year old class dance at 5, a wee bit late for that age.  The girls battled through that and did a great job up on stage.  It appears that Hadley had beaten her stage fright and was dancing up a storm.  CarCar did a great job also, showing some sweet moves up on stage.  Have to give some kudos to Brother too, he did a great job sitting through it with only one small issue, and I can't say I blamed him it was getting a little long and a little boring after the girls performed.  I wasn't too upset that we had to 'step outside' for a bit.  After the performance wrapped up we headed to dinner with everyone and the kids hit the sack quite early that night.

Here are some pics from the performance:
