The Nutcracker

Today I took Gina and Andrew to see a performance of the Nutcracker along with Nana. It was a children's matinee so it was only the first part, about an hour long. We saw the same performance last year and Andrew was scared of the loud canon.

Out in front they had the performers. Both kids loved to see them up close but didn't want to get close for a picture. I loved seeing the Nutcracker as a kid and it is fun going again with my own kids. Gina enjoyed the performance but announced it was too short. Andrew on the other hand, once again was really scared by the loud cannon (It is really LOUD) and started crying at that point. He seemed to enjoy the other parts of the performance but announced that he wasn't going to go next year. I guess next year I will take Gina to a full length performance and see if we can find one with a cannon that isn't as loud.
