KG went on her very first field trip to see Nutcracker in a Nutshell, the shorter, more family friendly version of the holiday classic The Nutcracker last Friday. We’ve been preparing for this all week: the bus trip (her first ever), her first ballet, and first field trip ever.
To say she was excited would be a bit of an understatement…she practically jumped out of bed and flew through her morning routine. As per Ms. H’s suggestion she didn’t eat breakfast at home (hard to do for this Mama), but enjoyed a bowl of Cocoa Puffs…though I’m not sure how much she ate for all the talking I’m sure she did.
The thing she was most excited about? She believed the ballet would be taking place in a real palace…all week long she went on and on about how she was going to The Palace. No matter how many times we tried to explain it was just called The Palace it wasn’t actually a palace, she refused to believe it.
She had a great time and loved seeing all the kids that were performing and Daddy’s work. Though the highlight of the trip was of course riding the bus, who would have thought something as simple as a bus ride could induce the kind of excitement it did.
All in all she didn’t have a lot to say about the ballet it’s self, but went on and on about the bus ride and Daddy’s work…isn’t it funny what sticks with kids?
Personally, I would have love to see it. I’m a huge die hard fan of ballet and get giddy like a little kid when I think about The Nutcracker. I would have loved to have been able to go, but alas, parents were not allowed to attend with the kids. But that’s another post for another time…I promised KG I would write about this…even though I’m sure you guys weren’t very captivated by this
