Bug and I just had a magical day at the Nutcracker Ballet. We went to the performance that functions as a dress rehearsal for the cast, and they invite all the schools and homeschoolers to attend for discounted prices. Well, there was a HUGE snowstorm last night. All of the schools were closed, so the only people to show up at the performance were a group of around 100 other random people/homeschool groups. They let us sit anywhere we wanted in the enormous Overture Center. Bug and I went right to the front row. We could see the whole orchestra pit (which was so fascinating) and were close enough to really see all the glitz and glamour of the ballerinas. Bug was entranced. During the scene of the battle between the toy soldiers and mice, a sword flew off the stage and whacked a french horn player in the head. That's something you only see when you are in the front row!
It was such a treat. I kept thinking how expensive those seats would be on any other day/time. Pretty good deal we got for $8/ticket!
We followed that up with Lentil Soup over rice at the Mediterranean Cafe with some friends. It was such a great day!
