Jasmine's Dance Recital Rehearsal

The dance studio where Jasmine attends dance is a very large organization. They put on very large scale productions and they do a great job at it. Even though Jasmine is still young and she was only in 1 dance for the production, she was required to attend the dress rehearsal so that she could get accustomed to being on stage. We decided to go all together as a family and record the rehearsal since we wouldn't be allowed to record the real thing.
A few hours before we were scheduled to leave, Lorne had to run to the bakery to get a few things done. On his way home, he was the victim of a bad driver who decided to cut in front of him doing a U-turn from off the side of the road and Lorne hit the guy on his driver's side door after trying to avoid him. Lorne's airbag deployed and he got several bruises and burns on his arms and hands. The police officer gave the mini van driver a ticket and said it was his fault, not Lorne's. Thank goodness none of our children nor myself were in the car and thank goodness Lorne didn't sustain any other serious injuries. The car however had to be towed from the scene and we would have to wait for a damage assessment.
He got home just in time for all of us to pack into my car and go to the rehearsal. I drove since I didn't think Lorne needed to be behind the wheel so soon after a slightly traumatic experience.
Jasmine looked great - I did her hair and make-up and she was excited to put on her costume. She was also excited to see her little friends and be in the classroom where she would await her turn to be on stage.

When it was their class's turn, they took the stage and did great! I was so proud of Jasmine and so excited to see her performing up there. Here is a little video of her dancing.

After she was done, we were allowed to take her so she wouldn't have to stay until the end and so we left and went out to eat at Lonestar Steakhouse and Saloon - steak tasted good after sitting in an auditorium watching kids dance for 2 and a half hours!
