CANDICE THOMPSON Ad Hoc Ballet Brooklyn, NY USA BIO | POSTS

Where has this month gone? I offer this photo montage to explain my absence from the blog after the ad hoc Ballet show. My parents visited and then this past weekend I went home to Arizona to throw my sister a baby shower!

Meet my family:

One of the first things I did with my parents was take them to the Cherry Blossom Festival at Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Breathtaking! figuratively and literally as I was hacking away from all of the flour inhalation during the ad hoc Ballet show and cherry blossoms are quite potent in addition to being beautiful….

So many beautiful, inspiring things at the garden….this is my favorite color!

The following week we rode bikes from Canal St to the end of Manhattan, past the Cloisters! That is what you are in for on vacation with parents who run marathons:-) While resting at a pier along the way we had a Bruce Willis sighting.

Next on the list was the Museum of Natural History, followed by a night at NYCB! It was a perfect rainy day agenda.

On the way to JFK, we made one last stop at DiFara’s Pizza. If you have never been there it is worth the trip. The wait is insane as it is just one old man making pizzas rather slowly, one at a time, but it is probably the best pizza I have ever had!

Then my parents went back to Arizona and a couple of weeks later, I followed them.

Sunday morning I took a hike up Pinnacle Peak with my niece and nephew.

The weather was unseasonably cool but with the usual warm sun, so it was all around great weather. And everything was in bloom too!

The reason for the trip is the belly in this photo. My sister, Lisa, is about to have a baby and so it was an occasion to celebrate! I love that her snow cone matches her suit.

Here is one of my favorite photos of the weekend from the baby shower. Four generations of family: me, my mom, my grandma, my sister and my niece.

So now I am back to work and summer in the city. Wrapping up costumes for Philippa Kaye Company this week and tackling numerous LOLAstretch obstacles and challenges, as well as getting used to a new job post. More on this later, for now, I hope you enjoyed getting a small glimpse of where I am from.
