Spring Dance Recital


My boys have had a great opportunity to learn dance through their daycare. There is a dance studio that comes to the daycare and offers to teach dance classes there (you have to pay, of course). At the end of each 10 weeks they do a recital. The Christmas recital was at the daycare which didn't go over well with how packed the place was. So the spring recital was held at a local High School auditorium (which was STILL standing room only). They got to do a dress rehearsal the day before and practice out their moves on the big stage. What was really cool for the boys was the fact that the whole dance company performed there so they got to see older kids dancing. There were 2 boys that do a hip-hop break-dance routine before B's class went out and during the dress rehearsal B would try to do handstands and kicks in between the dance moves. Both boys have decided they want to be break dancers :)

Brenden's Turn (sorry for the crappy iphone overexposed picture!)



Recital Day!!! Have you ever seen more handsome little guys??!! Love them to pieces!



Backstage with Logan's buddy Richie



The recital required the boys to be there at 2:30 wich prevented any napping from taking place. You can tell Brenden is tired!




Logan and his best friend Van




Logan's turn to perform the song "Me and my Teddy Bear" He did GREAT!





Brenden's class did "you've got a friend in me" from the Toy Story movie. Brenden is beyond excited to be on stage. There were HUNDREDS of people in the audience and the first thing he does is run out smiling from ear to ear saying "mommy, daddy, logan??? where are youuuuuuuuuuu??!!"
That got a HUGE "awwwwwwwww" from the crowd. I had to step to the front so he could see me lol. At least he didn't try to break dance this time.


Dance and wave to the fans!



The girl on the left couldn't take the pressure and is planning her escape.


AND... she's gone. Brenden spent the rest of the recital looking for her. He didn't see her leave so it totally confused him that one minute she was there and the next she was gone!


So cute!



And here are a few random shots of the boys playing ball at the research campus. I love Logan's hair blowing in the breeze.





I'll try to get some video of their dancing up next!!!
