Competition

This past weekend we went to Grace's dance competition.  I was a little shocked at a few of the young dancers (like 5-6 yrs) that dressed and danced so inappropriately for their age.  One of the routines was so shocking several of the dads around us were uncomfortable even watching them.  It is so sad to me that the parents think this is ok and the little girls are learning that this is ok.  Anyway, Grace had a great time and had her best performance yet!  Her group had a high score giving them a 1st.  They also received a special judges award at the end of the day!  We were so proud of all of them and had a great weekend away.  The kids spent about 5 hours in the pool with their daddy while I watched the older age group perform in the afternoon session and then I joined them for a while.  Then we grabbed dinner, Grace took a nap, and we went back to the pool with our friends that stayed at the same hotel.  I'm sad that I didn't get pictures of all of us together that night but it was a fun time!  Someone has pictures of me and a friend in the pool making up our own routine and performing just for fun (and no there was no alcohol involved)!

 Perfect lift.

 Hard to see because my camera couldn't focus fast enough but that is Grace doing her cartwheel.

 Pretty little girl.  She looks so grown up here with makeup on and no bangs.

 Checking out her trophy!  She is so proud of it!

With one of her best friends.  Belle actually danced 3 times that day.
