Mady had her Dance Recital this weekend, it was a long day, but it was a good one.
Mady took TapII this year and enjoyed it thoroughly and practiced constantly on the kitchen floor, she knew her routine inside and out… backwards and forward… with and without music.. until it came to dress rehearsal, when she got up on the stage with her 7 other dance partners and drew a blank, she was a bit lost. And needless to say, after that was over she was extremely anxious about getting in front of 350 people and messing up.
But Mady, mess up, nah, she got out there, and remember every single thing about the routine and nailed it, I dont think Ive ever seen it done that well. We were ALL PROUD! good job Mady!
here are a few pictures of both the practice as well as the performance!
enjoy!

Did you know they actually called Yosemite, YO-semite back early 20th century, at the museum we saw newspaper articles written just that way, it was cool.
This was one of our best trips there, we rode the bus only one time (to the riding stables) the rest of the time, we only used our bikes, or walked… it was so great!
It wasnt crowded, the weather was between 70-75 each day, and it did cloud up a lot, but we never had a down pour of rain except for one evening while just finishing up our smores… which just forced us to bed early… not so bad.
Never really remember being in Yosemite with this weather, and I’d have to say.. it was preferable.
Take a look at our pictures, there are a few pictures at the end where we stopped at Mark Twain’s writing cabin in Tuttletown (on our way home). Max has done a lot with Mark Twain in 4th and 5th grades so this was a good… topping off.
