My little dancers

The dance recital today was nicely done, as is everything ever produced by their teacher, Miss Anna Sikes. The theme was one of pirates and fair maidens; a pair of sisters were separated in a storm at sea, one landing on a pirate island and raised by the denizens of said realm, and the other landing on an island where everyone's sweet and kind and good. Isaac was a pirate, of course, and by far the tiniest pirate you'll ever see. He played the part as though he were six feet tall, however, waving his sword and frightening the maidens (so much so that one of them "faints" at the sight of him twirling in front of her). Alice also lived on the pirate island and was one of several "birds of paradise" flitting around beautifully. Here they are after the recital, sporting their costumes proudly:
