the final show

... sniff, sniff... it was sad to see it all end this afternoon. Thankfully Jeff and I got to go in to see the final show.

During warm-ups we got the chance to take some group shots.

Here's Karl terrorizing the kids...
the cast...
and a shot of almost everyone...
We were also able to take some photos during the curtain call (provided that I didn't use flash).

Here's Clara...
... and Alex...
Since it was the final show and after New Year's... they sang Auld Lang Syne...
(I'll admit to being a little... okay.. a lot teary at this point)

The final exit from the stage...
I finally made a second attempt to get a good shot of Alex and his "dad" from the show...
... now you can see the reason he had to get his hair dyed.

Just one final shot before we left...
The kids were really sad to see it all end today. They just can't imagine not hanging out with this group every weekend anymore.... but we'll be back into swim meets and playdates again, so maybe they won't mind so much.
