Last Saturday we met the Symons' out at Beaver Lake for an afternoon with jet skis and friends. It was a beautiful, sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, and although the lake water was still pretty chilly, it was warm. Landon jumped right in and was ready for a ride. As the afternoon wore on, it was Landon who pursued the riding and driving of the skis the most. Daddy actually let him push the gas and steer on his own...Landon was in heaven and had a look of sheer delight on his sweet bronzed face. He was a quite a little water bug, skirting across the water in his "fast boat". Claire had fun too, but she'd had a big day Friday (see post below) and was pretty mellow. After swimming, riding and basking in the sun, we headed home to eat dinner and get Claire to bed.
Claire went to tryout of the "company" dance troupe Sunday afternoon at the dance school she attends. Earlier in the year, her dance teacher, who is also the company director, told me that she wanted to Claire to tryout. Since then, Claire had been anxiously awaiting that day. Nerves got the best of her at first...she spotted me when they came out of the room for a break and she burst into tears. But with the help of the teachers, she was back in the audition room in no time and as her teacher told me afterwards..."she hammed it up like the Claire we know". Claire made the company; she was so proud of herself! Her family was too! She'll learn a special dance with the other kiddos in her specific company group which they will compete at three different competitions during the year. They also dance at charity events and functions. One last note...Claire was also chosen to do a duet (with one of her best friends from dance). Only a few couples were chosen for this honor, so now we are super proud of our dancin' queen!
