We spent the weekend in the Tacoma, WA area. On Saturday, we were invited to the Ballet to celebrate Nonna's birthday. I had A LOT of concerns prior to going . The ballet and boys don't really mix. I had bad visions. We saw Sleeping Beauty. That is a 3 hour ballet with 3 intermissions. I am proud to say that they did really well. 
The last act was extremely hard for the 7 year old. He was done and I think a lot of the audience felt that way. It was a dress up matinee so there were a lot of young kids dressed as Sleeping Beauty and adults too. So, there were a lot kids in the audience. Chuckles couldn't believe the witch was a man. He demanded to know at the beginning where were the special effects. The witch(wicked fairy) flying through the air didn't quite satisfy him. One of the little girls sitting in front of us wanted to know when half time was. It was cute. Guess she watches a lot of football at her house. The Pacific Northwest Ballet puts on an amazing production. The ballerina that played Princess Aurora, Carla Korbes, was amazing. I also really liked Puss and Boots and the White Cat dance in the last act.
