...on ice...
That pretty much sums up the weekend!
Friday night we all watched Emily skate...Dan stayed just to watch Emily...but Alex and I watched the whole show! I love it...I could watch it over and over! {And Allen Smith, from last season's Biggest Loser, sat just a few seats over from us...but I didn't have the nerve to ask him for a picture...and neither would Alex! Shoot...he's from our town...so maybe next time! I'm sure he wouldn't approve of the yummy buttery, salty popcorn we were eating...ahem...}
Saturday it was just me and Emily.
{Her hair was so neat and tidy at the beginning...but by the end of the weekend...it is what it is!}
I chaperoned both shows...which means I had to walk around with a clipboard and take head count and keep track of all the girls during the shows. Not as easy as it sounds...but thank goodness they were easy to spot in those costumes! {I didn't lose any of them either!}
After the first show of the day...we had just enough time to meet Dan and Alex for a quick bite of pizza before we had to be back for the next one.
This is how Emily was feeling by the third show...
Going...
...going...
...gone...
When we got back from eating dinner she just couldn't hang on...so I let her sleep in the car for about twenty minutes before it was time to get ready...I felt the same way!
{Lacing up her skates}
I think she seriously ate about 3 of these Airheads per show!
{Taking time to pose}
Show time!
Grandma and Grandpa came Sunday for her final performance...she was thrilled to see them...and to get flowers!
Awesome job Emily! She had a great weekend...and as tiring as it was...she said she wanted to do it again!
I thought we were done with ice skating for the summer...but we might be here more than I thought! She really enjoys it and is doing great! Her instructor came up to me and wanted to know if Emily would like to do competition this summer and have one of the Senior skaters coach her for her Senior Project...
...to be continued...
{And if Pepto Pink was your favorite color before...it may not be after this weekend! Ha! Just kidding...the girls were adorable!}
Oh how fun for her!! She looked adorable and how honored to be asked to compete...that is fantastic! Love those going going gone pics...too funny! Great skate Emily!
ReplyDeleteHow cute were they? I bet it was tiring but so much fun to watch. Sasha and Sam may go into figure skating next year instead of hockey just to give me a break from living in my van too much..ha!

ReplyDeleteThey all look so darling in their little costumes, especially Emily Sure sounds like a tiring weekend for you girls. Hope you got plenty of rest on Sunday evening. Good luck with the summer skating as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is so precious that she ice skates! I love it. Adorable costumes and it looks like fun! How cool that they want to coach her for a senior project! Wow. I'll be looking for her in the olympics someday! : )
