November 6th was the kid's performance of Disney's (adapted) Tangled. Granma and Grandpa drove down to see Ian and Elisa perform in their play. They had been going almost every Tuesday after school for an hour and a half to practice. It certainly wasn't free, but after seeing their performance, I'd say it was certainly worth it! I was a little nervous that the kids wouldn't know what to do on stage since both of the outright refused to practice their lines at home, but it turned out that both kids are natural-born actors! Elisa did quite well. She did forget some of her lines, but other than that and a couple of other things, she did extremely well for her first time in a real play. Ian was a complete ham and remembered all of his lines! He was so funny. He sure enjoyed being on stage. Seems a bit strange, since he can be so super shy around people. Most of the other kids did pretty well. Some not as well but as a whole the play was pretty cute. We had some friends come to see Elisa and Ian, and one of Elisa's teachers gave her some roses at the end of the play. Here are the videos. It isn't the entire play, just the scenes the kids are in:
Elisa and Ian performed so well! I was surprised they could memorize so many lines. Ian seemed to be so comfortable on stage for his age. I was amazed! I thought he would be shy like his dad at that age.
