I ran out of room on previous post for all of the movies so I figured instead of not posting some I would just do another post. You can't have too many movies of little ballerinas. They are just so dang cute.

Last Ballet Class of the Season
Chloe is at a wonderful Ballet School, they really seem to understand little girls and how they learn and play. I was super excited when we arrived on Friday that the parents got to sit in the classroom and watch. This was a first and thank goodness I had my camera in my purse. Double thank goodness Chloe was dressed super cute for the occasion that we didn't know about, wahooooo! I took a ton of movies but have no idea how many I can fit in a single post. I guess we will find out :)

VT - June 2011
In June my cousin Todd and his wife Katherine were up in VT for a reunion so, of course Chloe and I drove up to visit. We had a great time and as you can see also managed to find time to tour the Ben and Jerry's Factory. Yummmmy!

Local Carnival
In May Dylan had a 2wk break from school and we were lucky enough to get him for 1.5 of those weeks. Wahoooo!!!!! We sure do miss him. One day Chloe, Dylan and I decided it was time we tried out the local carnival. It was almost a success. 2 out of 3 rides went well but of course I haven't been to a carnival in a million years so I didn't remember which rides were scary. When Chloe wanted to do this giant boat swingy ride, I said yes, not remembering how frickin scary it is at the top of the ride. OMG! Chloe was screaming, crying and shaking and I thought I might just put my fingers through her arm I was holding onto her so tightly. It was NUTS!!!! Definitely a BAD BAD BAD mommy moment. After that ride we did a gentle roller coaster and she was back to loving the place. Oh my...what was I thinking. Dylan said her face on the scary ride was priceless, she we would smile and then we would go to the negative G side and it would switch to terrified. Oh well, you can't win them all. I won't make that mistake again.
Chloe's 1st Ballet Recital
Chloe had her first Ballet Recital. All the little ballerinas were so dang cute. Chloe's class danced with hearts. Don't tell Doug I told you but he taped the entire recital...in Standby MODE...AHHHHHH!!!! That is right, no video of the performance but trust me it was hilarious. Pretty much all the girls forgot the dance and did their own thing and somehow it was perfect. I had to get some pictures of Chloe in her outfit and as you can see she was not in the mood for standing and smiling for the camera, she was however in the mood to make silly faces, wahoooo. Can you blame her? I woke her up from nap to get ready for the recital.

| At the end of the performance all the dancers came out. Some of the older dancers took charge of Chloe and her buddies. The got to sit on the older girls shoulders and look out at the crowd, they had a ball and were very well behaved. |
 |
| Yay!!! Dylan was in town to see the performance. |
 |
| Our little Ballerina was tuckered out after the 3hr recital. Ok we might have been more tired than her. I think next year we might just do the 1st half of the year so we can skip the recital. 3hrs is brutal. |
VT- May 2011
In May we headed to VT for Joe's Walk to Cure Diabetes. We had a great time with Reyna and the gang. It is now habit that Chloe has her cousins read her books at night. Bridget is so grown up she even takes care of all of Chloe's bathing and bedtime routine.

| A great big game of tag/chase. The kid Chloe is chasing grabbed her flower balloon, threw it on the ground and stomped on it. Chloe not having siblings close in age, was completely bewildered by this. She looked around to see what her reaction should be. It was kind of funny. Not to worry the kid apologized and shared his balloon. |
