We got up extremely early this morning to be at Polar Ice by 8AM for photo sessions and Cinderella dress rehearsal. Everyone had to have curly hair and make up! I don't know how many kids are in the production... maybe 100... so imagine taking each child's photo individually, plus each group, plus the entire cast on the ice. It took the whole morning just for photos. Then... the dress rehearsal took four more hours. Jasmine and all the other little kids were crying at the end because it was like being in a cold freezer for the entire day. Note to self: go to REI or some place like that and get hand and body warmers for Jasmine before the shows next week.
Then.... luckily we brought our swimming gear for swim lessons that we have every Sunday. Even though it was 85 degrees today, we first stopped at the nearest Vietnamese restaurant to get a steaming hot bowl of Pho before swim lessons, just so we could get warmed up. The swim instructor saw Jasmine's hair and said..."What! Is it "crazy hair day" today?" :)
Now we are going to collapse on the couch. Jasmine is the one who did all the work... skating and swimming, but I had to keep track of all the costume changes, getting on the ice, getting hot drinks and hot food... I am totally exhausted. Kind of glad that we only do this once a year... for now anyway!
