The Waiting Game

Jillian's first dance recital is fast approaching. We're so excited to see our girl in action! Anyway, Mommy was talking to other, more experienced, dance mommies.  She found out that the recitals are very hot tickets indeed! We were informed that getting the tickets the day they go on sale is necessary to get good seats. Armed with that info, Mommy and Jilly went to the studio a half hour before they opened, only to find about 50 people already there. Some had been camping out since 4:45 that morning! Being very unprepared for such a wait (it took about 2.5 hours to actually get tickets), Mommy relied on the good old standby to occupy Miss Jillian... our digital camera. Considering the long boring wait, she made her own fun and was quite a happy trooper!

Yes, that's the pavement marked with PA One Call markings.  Definitely a picture worthy sight.

And a lovely shot of our van.

A self portrait.

Then we played a game where she would run across the parking lot, take Mommy's picture as she made a silly pose. Then they'd switch places and she would replicate the pose.  Good fun and very entertaining for the other people in line.

And then she just wanted to have her picture taken.

PS. We DID get some good seats!  Woo hoo!
