Four more golds, plus Championship Bronze and Silver

We have had a glorious long weekend! What a luxury to have 4 fabulous days off in a row :-) We actually even started our long weekend early, by pulling all of the kids out of school on Thursday so that they could watch Kitty dance the first of her two numbers after lunch. Kitty performed her large group ballet and her large group jazz; which both received first and gold in their categories! Friday was yard work day in which I dutifully received my initial sunburn of the season. I did get a lot of weeds picked though!! Jackson had a baseball game and then Dennis and Corey went to the Dakota Dunes for some card playing while Tannis and I took the kids out to dinner. By Saturday, we were up and at dance again by 10:00 a.m. Kitty performed her solo and then her large group tap. Again, two gold medals were to be found at the end of the rounds. Tannis and Emma came to watch as did Grandma. We then enjoyed a wonderful evening of homemade burgers and hand cut french fries at the Nichols. Delicious!!!!! The Dance Power competition also provides for a Championship dance off on Sunday evening and Kitty's ballet and tap were chosen as two of the top five numbers in their division. We were very proud that the 7-8 year olds were able to place so high against the 9-10 year olds in their division. Sitter School of Dance took the three top spots with Kitty's tap garnering third and her ballet second!!! Today we went to a movie and saw "The Chronicles of Narnia ~ Prince Caspian". Awesome, Amazing, Adventurous Epic! We loved it. Tonight we are going to BBQ and just enjoy the lingering hours of our holiday time!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too :-)
