Saturday evening of May the 26th, Rani went to her first ballet concert. We went to see the Australian Classical Youth Ballet's performance of The Wizard Of Oz at the Festival Theatre. We went with Rani's cousin Rebekah and Aunty Olivia. The girls had a magical time and as you can see, Rani was a tad excited about getting going. Rani wore her special red shoes because "they're just like Dorothy's". They thoroughly enjoyed titivating themselves leading up to the outing and getting to choose where to go for dinner afterwards, Hungry Jacks. Gives greater meaning to "all dressed up with nowhere to go"! They were very well behaved throughout, it only lasted an hour and was well worth it. Rani was very disappointed at the end when she didn't get to meet Dorothy, who is apparently now her best friend?! Bestowing the "best friend" title is Rani's way of giving her full approval, .
It was our first "Girl's Night Out" and we are planning a second for December to see the Youth Ballet's performance Scrooge.
