We had a blast in Frisco at NYCDA Dallas! It was SO good to see family and friends and to watch Lainey perform on stage; she performed a solo titled "Logn" choreographed by Dusty Button. (We don't know how to pronounce the name of the solo!) She placed 7th overall and was very pleased!
They played the wrong music at first. :) After the judges told her to relax, she smiled and I'm glad they got a picture of it. :)

My favorite! This was actually featured on NYCDA's Instagram page!
After she finished her solo, we ran to see the Baders. :)
And then we had dinner with some good friends - Miley and her mom, Missy.

Kara, Lainey, and Miley
Reunited with Morgan!
These two cry whenever they see each other these days... their bond is real and deep! They've been friends since they were 4 and 5 years old.
We checked on Gracie a lot. She loves her boarding facility!
Walker, Ben, Yiyia, and Bud went to the Butterfly Museum in Coconut Creek. They had a great time!

We got to see Vivian, Tom, Matt, Whitney, Emmy, and Tuck!
Hi, Paco!

Lainey with Ally :)
Part of the Harris/Cook clan! Ella, Allyson, Chris, me, Lainey, Greg, Tisha and Kate! It was a whirlwind trip to Dallas/Plano/Frisco; it was totally worth it and I'm glad we made the decision to go. Good times all around and it was wonderful to see everyone!
