Every year our May is completely crazy busy!! One thing that keeps us crazy is Skylar's dancing!! She absolutely loves to dance & I'm pretty sure May is her favorite month because it keeps her on her toes a lot. The first weekend of May is always her dance competition at Lagoon. This year, Skylar and I decided to spend the day at Lagoon & the boys were busy with soccer so it was just us two. We started the morning going to the Remembrance Walk at Thanksgiving Point where they read the names of the babies in our baby loss group. This is a yearly ceremony that the families continue to go to every year to remember their babies. It was so nice to go and see Gabriel's picture on the slideshow and to hear his name read, along with so many other babies' names whose moms have become such a great support to me. It was a beautiful program and a beautiful day. We enjoyed walking around the gardens for awhile with my friends. It was great to have Skylar with me to enjoy the morning and remember our little Gabriel.
Then we were off to Lagoon for Skylar's Dance Competition. She did two dances-How to Believe:
& It's a Hard Knock's Life:
She did such a great job! Her team did such a great job! In fact, they won 1st place in both dances!! Go Sky!!
After the competition we played all day at Lagoon with some friends. Skylar & her "best dance friend", Abbie have been dancing together since they were three. They have so much fun together!
Every time we've been to Lagoon in all of these years of dance competitions I've never been able to go on the rides because I was pregnant or we didn't stay for rides. It was so fun to have a girl's day out with my Skylar having fun & actually get to go on some of the rides that I've never been on. Skylar was so brave & went on everything! This is our new favorite ride, Wicked. It's name says it all.
The dancing doesn't end with the competition. There's still a concert to come at the end of May. Skylar had three dances in the concert. The two from the competition:
...and Dance Forever
Of course Skylar rocked it! The dance concert was a little bittersweet because it was Skylar's last as a student of Mrs. Jennifer and Mrs. Christy, who have been teaching her since she was teeny. Sky's now moving onto the Jr. Company at her dance studio and will have a new teacher. She will also be the youngest in her group. It involves a lot more dance, competitions, & money, of course. She's sooooo excited!!! I'm so glad she's found something she's so passionate about.
She's also excited that Abbie will be moving up with her. Go dancer girls!!
Skylar loved having her posse, Line & Malia, come to see her dance. Thanks for coming girls!!
There still was more dancing in May!! Here's Skylar at her school chorus concert. She has loved being in chorus this year. Their spring concert was all Disney songs and they had a fun time dancing away while singing. I'm not posting the performing pics because you can see the name of her school in them on their shirts, but here she is after bustin' a move.
Then there was the dance festival at the kids' school. Each grade dances to a different dance from a different decade. Skylar's grade danced to I Heard it Through the Grapevine from the 60's. Skylar was so excited to get a tie dye shirt for her dance.
Here's some of Skylar's friends dressed like 60's hippies.
