Beasts and birds have been known to do fancy dancing, especially when wooing. But no one has seen them actually waltz.
Until last weekend, that is. At Wave Hill, the public garden in the Bronx, small creatures glided across the dance floor. Granted, the animals were the two-legged kind, but they looked the part, with masks representing bears, bats, toads, hedgehogs and other forest denizens. The occasion? The first Hibernators Ball.
The dress code was pj’s, which made for an easy morning to get out the door. We made hibernator masks using paper and materials like felt, crayons, feathers, yarn, cotton balls, embossed paper and raffia.
All the Wrights hard at work using their imaginations... look at the determination on their faces
Kajsia's first time using scissors, with lots of supervision!
Brannick looking on has his sister proudly puts on her frog mask.
Brannick being held for a picture with his snake crown. A mask wouldn't have stayed on his face more than 2 seconds, so Tage opted for the crown. He still wouldn't keep it on for longer than 10 seconds.
big sister being so tender. I love that I captured this moment.
The band Jody Kruskal and Friends lead the waltz lessons and the crowd favorite... animal hibernators. So much fun!
