It's A Hard Knock Life

Today was the National Competition for Dance. We had to be ther so early-- at 7 am!! The girls were the first to perform today. They did a great job again- especially for it being so early in the morning!!!

After the competed, we had about 3 hours until awards. We all went to IHOP-- Granny Lou, Pop, Granny Leen, Bob, and all 4 Branches. It was a good time of fellowship.

Kadyn and I stayed for the awards. We got to watch a good number of groups that were also competing. They were older and had been dancing longer, but it showed Kadyn what she will be able to do if she keeps it up.

So the awards start and Kadyn's group placed Platinum First again! Kadyn was the one from her group that went to get the trophy! I realized too late she was the one walking up-- so I only got her walking away with the trophy. Kadyn had a great time. She is ready to compete more! This is definitely a new world for Eric and I!!!

We are not allowed to take pictures or video during the performance. However, they take professional pictures-- TONS of pictures that you have the opportunity to purchase. We bought two-- here they are!
