Nutcracker

December 19, 2010 | Somewhere on Mercer Island

Kevin, Hanna, and I went to see the Nutcracker to see Kevin's student perform (she's 6). The ballet was a combination of beautiful, cute, and funny. To the latter, the mice looked like raccoons, the wine glasses were plastic and scotch-tape attached to the tray, and the Nutcracker's huge jaw went up and down - that's while he was protecting the girl from those mice.

After, they took some pictures of "Kevin's kid" with lots of flowers and I was trying to not bump anyone with my backpack - it was packed. You can probably tell. We finally made it out, and stopped at the Chinatown Oasis for bubble tea. I got hot milk tea, but I don't think my stomach liked it very much. Also, I lost at Jenga, twice. :( First time wasn't my fault, I just should have waited a second after Kevin made his move. Second time I should have been more careful trying to balance a ridiculously tall tower of blocks.
