NYCDA Convention / Competition

Lainey and I went to Orlando this past weekend for NYCDA. She had a BLAST. All of her buckets got filled...except the sleep bucket. She LOVED being there with her friends and she loved the dancing.

Lainey's solo "Brass Tacks"

I cannot do this.



Muscles!

Lainey's solo "Brass Tacks" placed 14th overall in the Teen Division...13, 14, and 15 year olds! She was so thankful! 

Someone besides me doing her hair. AMEN!


Such a sweet group of girls in this. No fuss, no drama. So unique.
Bella, Lainey, Nova, Victoria, Nia, and Caroliny

The title of this dance is "Soon." It's beautiful.

again, with Nova :)
(We love Nova!)

Lainey was selected as an Outstanding Dancer Runner-up AND she received the "Rising Star" award from one of the faculty members, Joey Dowling. Lainey was thrilled!



Meanwhile, back at home...
Walker got to play for several hours with friends from school - Nico, Roxy, and Jonah. There's a fifth kid pictured, but I have no idea who that is. :)

The temperatures dropped over the weekend and my friend sent me this picture of a frozen iguana from our neighborhood. When the temperatures drop, iguanas "freeze" - their body temperature drops so low that they freeze...but only temporarily. They fall out of trees and land like this. They will lay like this until the temperatures warm up and then they'll move again. So crazy, right? I'd never heard of such a thing until I moved to South Florida. :)

All in all, a fun (yet exhausting) weekend!
