Columbia River Dance Spring Recital

Maggie and Adah have spent the year in after-school creative dance and gymnastics classes, respectively. I was a bit anxious about making it to their May 22 Cats recital, since it was just 2 days before my due date, but we all made it, including my parents who had already driven up from Salt Lake City to help out with the kiddos and new baby.

Maggie's creative dance class performed to the song "Llama." (Is that part of Cats? I have no idea.) They were adorable little ballerina "mice." Unfortunately the lighting was not ideal for photography during the performance, but we did our best.

Adah's gymnastics class performed to "Skimbleshanks," going back and forth on the mat displaying the various skills they had learned. Adah was the only one in the class who got into her headstand unassisted and held it with excellent balance. Way to go, Adah! (Backstage--and audience--confusion caused Adah to remove her costume a little prematurely, so we didn't get a good close-up of her.)
