Where the Wild Things Are

Earlier this month we took Aden and Danielle to see a production of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, performed by the Columbia City Ballet. The kids were enthralled. (It was Aden's idea after hearing about it when we went to see The Nutcraker.)

The weekend before the performance, some of the dancers performed excerpts from the ballet at the Richland County Library. On the wall of the children's library is a mural depicting a scene from Where the Wild Things Are, painted by Sendak himself. The kids enjoyed following Max around and got to meet one of the beasts. I can't believe I didn't have a camera with me. (The pictures were taken the day of the full ballet performance.)

Earlier on the day of the performance we saw Aden's best friend play a hockey game.
