A few weeks ago, I took G to see Angelina Ballerina at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. I love being able to expose G to the arts, and to have girls night out with her, but sometimes tickets can be so pricey! Last year, I took her to the Fresh Beat Band, and I've been looking for the perfect performance this year. Peter Pan and The Lion King were both good options, but just way out of my price range.
I saw the add for Angelina Ballerina and that tickets were only $10.00 and I knew that it would be the perfect girls night for us! The great thing, was that spring football would be over, and DJ would be able to keep MC at home.
It turns out that two of G's friends from preschool (that she's had a few sleepovers with) wanted to go too, and their mom purchased tickets in our exact same row so we could all sit together!
I decided not to let G know in advance about the performance. I didn't want her bugging me every day about when it would be, and I also didn't want to hang it over her head that if she didn't behave that she wouldn't be able to go. Because, sometimes, I fail, and I do that.
I picked her up from school on the day of the performance and rushed her home to take a bath and get dressed. She knew there was surprise, but she had no idea until we pulled up to her friends house where we were going!!!!
Her friends had received their tickets from the Easter bunny and A had been talking about it all week to Gretchen. G even saw an add for the performance in a magazine and just had to tell me about how I should take her!
After picking up our friends, we went to dinner at Panera and then on to the show.
Our seats were in the 2nd row, and I was thrilled to be so close, but honestly, any seat in the theatre would've been great!
After the show was over, the characters came down into the audience and danced with the little girls! I couldn't see very well, but I did see that G was pretty close and gave her Angelina a hug.
They also had a meet and greet and autograph signing when the performance was over. It was a little chaotic getting through the crowds, but G waited very patiently.
She even got to give Angelina another hug!
G was so tired by the time we got home! She had so much fun, and she's decided that she needs to start taking ballet lessons again. (When she's good at gymnastics, she says.) I told her she was more than welcome to switch back to dance this fall when she starts kindergarten!
I'm most glad that we could have this girls night, and that she could be with her friends, I could have a little grown up girl conversation, and that she and I could spend some quality time together! She's just growing up too fast!!!
