DAY 4....DANCE COMPETITION

7 DANCES DOWN....3 MORE TO GO!

It was another early morning but we managed once again to get to the competition on time!

Today Trinity performed in 6 dances all with great results.

*2 RUBY (bronze)

*2 SAPHIRE (silver)

*2 DIAMOND (gold)

Blake and Brooklyn did fantastic sitting and watching the dances ALL day. It started at 7:30am and went (for us) until suppertime. Lucky for me Blake fell asleep just after 2 o'clock and slept 2 hours!

PLAYTIME AT McDONALD'S

After the dancing was finished for the day we headed back to the hotel for a swim. The kids were excited and in much need of the fun break. They had a blast!

Blake was getting impatient waiting his turn on the water slide and kept cutting in line (over and over again) so I took the water slide priviledge away from him so he then turned to the hot tub.

It wasn't long after he went back to the pool and again didn't want to listen and was getting careless with jumping in the pool (over crowded). He then jumped on Trinity's head getting her in the eye...lucky for her no black eye!

Doesn't she look impressed....?

He wasn't long leaving the pool, getting showered and put on time out while waiting for Trinity and Brooklyn to finish their swim.

Sitting on time out while waiting for everyone else to get ready.

(I'm sure he will be on his bestest behavior at the pool tomorrow! He did apologize to his sister)

After the kids got settled into their pj's we took them out for Pizza! MMM

Now everyone is tucked into bed and I am going next!

***early morning wake up call at 5:30am***

It stopped raining long enough too......

Finally it stopped raining long enough we could finally get outside and do some yard work. I hope this was the right tree that was supposed to come down...hee...hee. Kohl and I got the saws out and took down this tree that was full of thorns and always banged against the dining room window. We also chopped out a section of the dead tree in the front. The bad part, now I can see how bad of shape the dining room window was really in...yick.

Jay and Breigh joined us after the trees limbs were all down, as you can see Breigh found a stick she liked just fine and Jay and Kohl had some fun stomping and chopping the fallen limbs.

Jay is off to bowling and than we are heading to Dragon Ball Evolution at the Theatre.

THURSDAY NIGHT BLAST PARTY!

This afternoon Trinity took part in a dance workshop that was taught by Melissa from "So you think you can dance Canada". She got Melissa's autograph and a picture then had fun learning some new choreography. It was a busy morning then afternoon but more excitement was about to happen.......

What a night! We performed our parent/child dance in front of the audience today and what a time we had! Blake was definitely the talk of the show and not only during our performance but later during the after party dance. Blake danced it up with all the dancers and again put himself in the spotlight. He got to dance with the radio announcers for 101.3 that attended the show and he even ended up winning himself a radio tshirt for his amazing dancing (he decided to give the shirt to Trinity). Trinity was off dancing the night away with her friends.

OFF TO THE BLAST PARTY!

Blake got to dance with the Radio announcer (blue and black jacket)

He was awarded a blue t shirt for his awesome dancing!

check out my shirt!

GO BLAKIE....GO BLAKIE...GO BLAKIE....

(and that is all you heard most of the night...he was not shy and I think he dance with groups from the entire competition!

We are now back at the hotel, the kids are in bed and I am heading there when I'm finished here.

Tomorrow is Trinity's busiest day. She will compete in 6 dances throughout the day and it starts once again with an early morning wake up call around 5:45am.

I will update again tomorrow!

Boy I am exhausted but we are having a great time!

DAY 3....DANCE COMPETITON

SHE WON......

RUBY!

(which is a Bronze)

What tough competition she had but she did amazing!

It was an early morning with Trinity starting with her solo this morning at 7:30am. I got her up at 6:45am (had her hair done the night before) then we got Blake and Brooklyn up as we were going out the door. We had time when we got to the sportsplex to get the organzied and fed before all the dancing started.

Trinity just before leaving for competition. She was so excited and definitely sparkling!

I did her hair last night to make things easier this morning....Everyone loved her hair and it looked amazing on stage along with her costume!

DAY 2...HALIFAX DANCE COMPETITION

SHOPPING.....SHOPPING.....SHOPPING!

then we had lunch followed by a loonie ride....

Back for a dip in the pool!

and we're off!

After the pool it was time to head back to the room for a quiet time...

Snack and quiet time with movie.

After a good rest we headed to the sportsplex to finally watch some dancing.

It was a late night but the kids were fantastic watching the lyrical solos.

We picked up McDonalds on our way back then got them tucked into bed.

Since Trinity has her solo at 7:30 in the morning I thought I would get a head start on her hair. It will be an early morning!

SMILE.....

So far she isn't nervous....just excited!

SWEET DREAMS!
