Demi Plie, petit jete, fondu

We had so much fun last week going to Ballet Exposed put on by the Oregon Ballet Theater. They set up a tent in the park blocks of downtown Portland, so we grabbed lunches, my mom & sister. We met my sister's husband downtown and our cousin and her darling girls for a fun afternoon. The girls & even little Hyrum were getting into it watching the dancers practice and practicing moves along with them. Each thing they did was narrated by a member of the OBT and it was so amazing to learn more about ballet, and watch their beautiful graceful movements. They are true athletes-it was really incredible. And did you know the term fondu in ballet literally means to melt your leg, just like melted cheese in yummy fondue.


Isabella is practicing her moves, she of course had to wear a princess dress to the event
And here she is again, imitating the dancers
David thought he would die of boredom, luckily grandma saved him by giving him a Nintendo DS to take with him.
