Leanna's Ballet Experience

On Friday March 14th we went to the ballet. My sister had extra tickets to the ballet. The ballet showing was Cinderella, which we were all excited about. We were to meet my sisters and mom at the Wortham Theater at 6. So before we left, we took a few pictures of Leanna. Here she is...ready to go!

Once we got to the Wortham , there were so many little girls in pretty dresses ready to see the ballerinas. It was so cute to see tons and tons of pretty girls. Little did they know that this wasn't the Cinderella story they knew.
In this story, Cinderella was a tomboy, whose Mother had passed away. Her and her father lived with the the stepmother and the sisters. But the father was very ill. The prince is looking for a princess to marry. And Cinderella's Mother's ghost is the one who gives her a dress. Cinderella goes to the ball and dances with the handsome prince. But she doesn't like him because he is vain! She likes his secretary (who is a guy, of course) instead. When it's midnight, she leaves her slipper behind. The king and prince want to find her, but she doesn't want to be found, because she doesn't want to marry the vain prince. And he doesn't want to marry a commoner either. So in the end, she and the secretary end up together. Her father dies and is re-united with his beloved wife....and they all lived happily ever after!

It wasn't what Leanna knows, so she kept talking and asking questions. She wanted to know why the boy, which was Cinderella, was wearing the dress. This Cinderella had super short hair and her gown was a gold gown. Leanna let us know that Cinderella was wearing Belles' dress. The poor girl was confused. I kept telling my sisters and Joan, that there were a bunch of little girls whose Cinderella story got messed up.

I took a few pictures while we were sitting down. She's reading the Playbill with my sister. Then during intermission, she met a little girl. We took advantage of each of the intermissions to talk to Leanna about what was happening...and to stretch our legs!

And this is Leanna after the show. It's hilarious. Joan took a good picture of her. She was knocked out! She still had her little purse! Cutie pie! Thanks Tia Irma for letting share this experience!
