An Evening at the Ballet

Last night we went to the ballet to see Alice In Wonderland. It was quite different from the ballets we’ve usually been to. We knew that just reading the cast list and seeing strange entries like ‘Guys in White’ or ‘Alice’s Legs’. But as you watched the story unfold, it all made sense.

The sets and costumes were very colorful and creative, as was the way they achieved the strange occurrences in the story. The music followed the story well, and set the perfect mood for each scene.

Unfortunately, photos are not allowed, but the Mad Hatter did come out to greet the audience after the performance. 🙂

Sunday Stroll

The time change was today, so with schedules out the window we decided to break from our routine, go out for breakfast, and then take a walk around the Botanic Gardens. It’s a quiet time of year of course, and it’s nice to see a bit of greenery and the spring flowers. After that we stopped off for tea at a Denver bakery that specializes in eclairs.
