Alea's Tumbling Recital


Our little tumbler had her recital May 1 and 2. She did so good! We did not realize how big of a production the recital was. I thought we’d be there about an hour and we’d see some cute little dancing and tumbling. Well . . . two hours into the REHEARSAL, we snuck out and took Greg and Benton home so Benton could go to bed. Alea and I returned in plenty of time for her part in the big production. It really made her (and me) feel like we are a part of something big. The studio she attends has around 130 students in two (or three) locations and they all had a part, or multiple parts, in the production. Alea did her somersaults, cart wheels, head stands and blow up saxophone playing like a pro and took a nice big bow at the end of the finale. She got called across the stage to get a certificate of congratulations for her first recital. She looked so little up on that big stage. Alea, we are so proud of you may we always encourage you to follow your dreams!

  2. So, did she bring her own spotlight? Or did she train Benton to use one ?!? I bet she's still doing the routine in the comfort of her own living room.
