A Ballet Day is The Best Day

We went to see the final Oregon Ballet Theaters performance of the season today. The performance was called Rush + Robbins and it was amazing.

Walking to the ballet after lunch. Anna really likes to eat Chinese food. She has a plastic little helper that makes it more fun for her to eat with the chop sticks. The current Anna favorite is sweet and sour chicken.

Anna is peaking into the orchestra pit to say "hello" to her friend the conductor. He has promised to take her back stage with him next time he sees her at the ballet. She did get to meet some of the horn players are press the buttons on a (maybe some sort of) tuba.

Next season Charles and I will stay home with Sam. It was a little difficult to get babysitting for Mr. Sam and Charles had to miss a few performances. Anna loves to be with Nana and Pop pops so much that I do not think she will miss us.

Graduating Goldfish

Anna had her last spring term swim class today. The teachers had a little graduation ceremony afterwards for the kids. Anna was super excited to be a "a goldfish next time."

I do not have the heart to tell her that she already is a goldfish :)

The Lady Lunches

The past two day all of Anna's play dates have revolved around lunch. Anna is becoming quite a good little hostess. If she ever wanted to she would be a fantastic debutant ... since I think they have to host many luncheons, carry purses, wear dresses and gloves ... all things that Anna currently is fantastic at doing.

This is yesterday's lunch with Henry, Katie, and Katherine. We hosted a impromptu play date since the original plans to meet outside were cancelled due to rain.

Today's lunch was in a converted school bus with Theo and his sister Hazel. It was so fun to eat in a Bluebird and Anna likes the music they played (60's psychedelic style). We sang a modified version of "the wheels on the bus" song all the way home.

Ping The Duck PJ's

Nana brought Anna several pairs of frog button pj's last year from Chinatown (San Francisco) last year. They finally fit her and are her pj's of choice this summer. Last night, during story time, she pulled out the Ping book to show us that she matched the boy in the picture.

She is also recently decided that Stella is fun to share books with (she doesn't grasp the pages like Sam does).

These are the pink pj's she wore a few nights ago.

Watching The Children's Parade

We walked down to see the children's parade today. Anna was really excited to see people sitting on top of the cars, and kids "walking on sticks!" It was really hot and humid for this time of year .. we all wilted by the end of the parade.
