Claire and her new best friend Julie.
The last week of June, our family loaded up and headed to Dallas, TX for Claire's national dance competition. A week-long furlough of skills, talent and lipstick! Claire's dances all did great! Her duet "Kids of the Future" received a 2nd place in their age category. The group dance "Bugs" was 1st in their age category and 3rd overall of the Junior Lines. The production number "Bathtime" was 1st in their age category and 5th overall of the Junior Productions. That's pretty amazing for kiddos who spend only a few hours a week in the studio taking lessons! While we were in Dallas, we had time to take in some sights. These included a date with a doll at American Girl, splishing and splashing at the Hawaiian Falls waterpark, and enjoying ballpark food at a Texas Rangers ballgame (not to mention amazing fireworks!). I think even the boys would agree that the "dance trip" was a good time, even for them!

As a side note, the day after we returned from Dallas, there was a parent meeting for auditions for the dance company that had just finished competing. Auditions were held a day later. Claire was really nervous this year, which was made obvious by the meltdown she had as we walked into the studio that afternoon! Nonetheless, she made company again this year, and will have 5 dances instead of 3!
