Weekend of Dance & Gymnastics

This past weekend was jam-packed full of dance and gymnastic activities and had us on the go! It was the weekend of their Winter Dance Show and their Winter Challenge at gymnastics - their very first gymnastics competition! The girls competed on Saturday afternoon and had a great time. In fact, Taylor took 5th place and Lindsey took 4th place and we were SO very proud! Then Dylan competed on Sunday morning and took 3rd place which made all of us beam with even more pride. The best part, they each received REALLY COOL trophies which are prominently displayed in their rooms. They LOVE gymnastics and we really enjoy Elite Gymnastics Academy and their coaches. They do an excellent job of coaching and making it fun and challenging.

On Sunday afternoon, the girls had their Just For Kix Winter Dance Show and liked the idea of being able to put full make-up on for the event (mom and dad, not so much). They did such a super job!!! They performed both a Jazz and a Kick routine and both were impressive. Their coach, Cristi, is the head coach for the Prior Lake Dance Team (Lakers) and she really does a fantastic job. The girls are getting better each day and SO enjoy watching the big girls dance (they are excellent!). The BHS Demonettes have always been my favorite to watch but I believe they have some serious competition. Ironically, one of my high school friends was there and her daughter is a senior who dances for the Lakers. She told me it goes SO fast and remembers when her daughter was our girls age. We look forward to many years of "activities", enjoying the journey and savoring each and every moment!
