POD: Rehearsal Day
 |
| From Picture of the Day 2013 |
Today was rehearsal day at Violet’s ballet studio, the last practice before they head to the big stage for one rehearsal next Friday and two shows Saturday. Today was a long day at the ballet studio, Violet’s has a number in both halves of the show, so we had to there all day, but at the same time we had so much to do for Jacob’s 7th birthday party tomorrow. First Jacob spent the day with his Nana and Papa, while Melissa and I went to ballet. After half a day at of waiting, Melissa headed home to work on the party while I hung out waiting for Violet to be finished at dance. It worked out great in the end. The party prep went great and Violet rocked her rehearsals.

This evening our little family went in different directions. Jacob went to dinner and a movie with his uncle, Violet hang out with Nana and Papa, while Melissa and I headed to the Rogers Centre for a Blue Jay’s Game. I have seen pictures from each of those events so picking a picture of the day was a challenge. This picture of Violet showing off her new bike helmet that her Nana and Papa got her, just made me smile.
