Kennedy had her end-of-year dance recital on May 16th. (I'm just a little slow...please check out our recent awesome road trip over to Jackson Hole on Jenna's blog...)
She did such a great job! She has such a great dance teacher (love you, Lori!) and, I think, lots of talent! She did her first lyrical this year, to the song "I'll Try" (which I just found out is from Peter Pan Return to Neverland) and really loved the soft, pretty ballet steps. I loved that dance, I'm sad she's done with it! I loved the song, and the choreography for the dance was so pretty. She also did a tap dance to "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson, which was darling.
They had their recital this year at the Colonial Theater in Idaho Falls, which is where Kennedy and I went to the Nutcracker in December, so she was very excited to dance on that stage. The best part was that Kennedy had a great cheering section! Wes, Megan and their family came up to spend the weekend, and it was so fun to have them there! They brought their little friend, "the other Katelyn" and she was a complete doll. Kennedy was excited to have one more little buddy to play with.
Kennedy was so excited to show off her dances, she kept telling me before the recital, "I hope I do REALLY good since pretty much my WHOLE family is going to be watching." And then for several days after: "Which dance do you think was Wes' (or Megan's or Taft's or Katelyn's or Seth's) favorite dance? Do you think it was one of mine? Which one?" It was cute.
We had a great time with our visitors, luckily the weather was pretty gorgeous so the kids got to play in the lake a little, go for paddle-boat rides, and just run around a lot. We love having visitors, thanks so much for making the trip, Wes and Meg! It really was a big deal to Kennedy to have someone besides mom and dad for her to show off for...We love you guys!

Of course we went out for ice cream after, and where is better than Leatherby's? With their monstrous sundaes, it's becoming a great tradition...
Hudson's "nilla in a dish" required MUCH concentration...
What is sweeter than kids with bubblegum icecream cones??
Now that is a sundae that is worth the calories...
Hi from Wes, Megan, and family. I have been wanting to thank you for such a fun weekend. It is sometimes such a pain to drag our kids out but it is always worth it when we come up there. We always have so much fun. Kennedy did so well at her recital, we were glad we could be there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Again,
Wes, Megan, and kids
She is so darling! And what fun to have Kaitlyn come along!
