Fun with friends

One of the best things about this time of year is fun with friends. Birthday parties, after school play dates, and this year we went to see the musical You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, that 10 of Ally's classmates were in.

Aiden, Cathal, Daniela & Maya were part of Woodstock's entourage

Alejandro, Camilla, Ellie & Melyna were on the baseball team

Lizzie & Charlotte were part Linus's blanket entourage 

We went to the 7pm show on Saturday night. It was great, but Ally was so tired afterwards. Tootired to stay and chat after the show with her friends. 

Some pictures:

It was an early release day and so a couple of parents, myself included brought 10 girls to the pool. They swam for 2 hours! That is Ally doing a handstand.

Ally, Else, Daniela, Alma & Maya

I was in charge of these 3: Maya, her sister Sonya and Ally

Saturday was another birthday party, that was #5 for the month, and Ally has been invited to 2 more! Above I took a picture of Ally and her best friend Daniela. Below if you look closely you can see them in the tree.

Later on Ally gave a lesson in how to do a cartwheel. On our way back to the car Ally did 13 cartwheels in a row. Several people stopped what they were doing to stare and she tumbled past them. 

Later that night Ally dressed up a little to go to the play. 

Becky and Ally. My gorgeous family. 

Check out the diverse fashion footwear. That would be Ally in her wedge heeled sandals and Becky in the not so fashionable medical shoe that Becky is sporting. Becky's for had been hurting for the past week so she went to the doctor on Friday. The X-ray showed no fracture, but the pain is bad, so she wears the medical shoe for a week and if the pain is not better then she has to go to a podiatrist. She has to wear that for a week. 

Yes that means that both members of my family and our dog have had serious foot/leg issues in the past 6 months. I am worried I have a huge target on my feet. My boss thinks I should be in a bubble.

When we got to the theater they had "snoopy grams" available. You could send message to the performers back stage! Ally filled out 7 for her friends. Several parents thanked me and said they children loved getting the message. It was a fundraiser and fun for Ally to do.

Daniela in the green shirt and Maya in the red. They kids sit in the audience and go up on stage from there so it was fun to sit with them. 

Daniela as a Woodstock person. 

As the school year winds down and we see how far Ally has come in her physical health Becky and I are just so grateful and thankful. It is so special to see Ally active and having fun with her friends.
