Nutcracker, Etc.

Look at those skaters go! This was the temp. rink they set up at the Seattle Center.

Unfortunately it looks a lot bigger than it really is. It's really about 4 ft. x 6 ft. That works out to about 38 skaters per sq. ft.

Look, everyone! I've got new glasses!

Catalina never complained about her vision, never even squinted. But after her school did a vision screening, the screener asked her teacher "Does she have any trouble reading, because she had trouble reading the 'E' on the top line."

Chalk one up to the public school screening! 

Nutcracker, Etc

Not sure who that was that took our picture here, but at least they were nice enough to email us our photos after she ran off with our camera.... 

The Nutcracker, Etc.

Really, this was just an excuse for the kids to get all dressed up. It was a nice ballet, though, and the kids thought so, too.

This picture was taken out in the lobby of the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Lots of photo-spots that included these characters were scattered around...
