Busy couple of weeks
Last Wednesday we went into the city to see a musical production of Sleeping Beauty (not the ballet).

Ballet: Alice in Wonderland
We saw this production a few years ago, but who can resist $6 tickets?! The girls and I headed into the city today for the Metro Dancers production of Alice in Wonderland.
