This weekend both mermaids had events.
LaGrande finished her high school run as Sophie in Mamma Mia. The group bonded so well and became such an amazing little family in the past several weeks that the final show was rather emotional. I watched 4 of the 7 performances and BopOp holds the family record with 6 of 7. Each night was an adventure showing ups and downs, improv and fine execution, sickness and health. The effort involved was high but the rewards, for viewers and actors alike, was equally high.
TheWeeOne then finished her latest quarter of Aerial training at SANCA;THE local circus arts facility. She graduated from Level I to Level II this quarter and showed us moves on the silks and trapeze such as Man in the Moon, Angel, Birdnest, and something like a double foot split swap…I dunno what it was called exactly but it was a favorite. Recently she has gained enough upper body strength to also add in a session of flying trapeze where she is learning to control her momentum while swinging and even doing some basic release/catches. Again – the effort involved is humbling; and I am really proud to see how far she has extended herself and how fast she has progressed.
