The San Diego Civic Youth Ballet's "The Nutcracker"

I took the boys to go see The Nutcracker on Saturday. We got there just in time and really enjoyed the show. About halfway through the first act, Connor leaned over to me and asked when they were going to start talking. We almost left at the intermission because I thought they did both acts. Clara and the Prince were waving goodbye to the Sugar Plum Fairy at the end of the first part and I thought, well, this must be a short version or something. It wasn't until I was about 20 yards from the theater that I realized no one else was leaving. So we went back and saw the rest of the show. I know...duh, on my part. Well, the second act had lots of neat dances so I'm glad we didn't miss it. I'm looking forward to taking Aubrey next year.

So did the boys like the Nutcracker? My kids never seemed to cotton on to it.
