Memorial Day Weekend 2012

Leading up to Memorial Day Weekend we had several exciting events occur. Reilly made her High School Dance Team!! We are all so excited for her. It is very competitive and difficult to get on the team. Reilly tried out last year and just missed it...she was three below the cut off. This year she took another Jazz class and a Hip Hop class and it looks like it paid off. Our whole family was on pins and needles Friday night waiting for the list to be posted online!! There was a lot of screaming and jumping up and down at our house when we saw her name on the list. Then she was off to celebrate with the team. We are so excited for her and looking forward to watching her perform!!

 Kameron also had a big night this last week!! He got to perform in his first Band and Strings Concert. Kameron has been playing the trumpet this year. Where we live all the kids in the school district who are in Band or Orchestra perform in one HUGE concert at the Arena. It was quite the event!! This was our first time attending because Reilly has always been in Choir. It was amazing.

There were several thousand kids performing!! One of our local newscasters was the announcer for event. Ailey was thrilled to see someone from T.V. She and Bryn were passing the binoculars back and forth.

Kameron's age group did a great job! You can kind of see him in this picture. Look for a white shirt towards the back next to a woman walking in a floral skirt. That's Kam!!

Then we were off to the lake to spend the weekend. The weather was pretty rotten...windy and cold. But we were still able to have some fun.

Kameron and Dane played a lot of basketball, frisbee...and there was a lot of fishing going on.

Bryn loved riding that scooter

We did have several perfect nights for bonfires. One night we sat around the bonfire talking until about 1:30 am!! The lake looked so pretty with all the bonfires all around it. It was so peaceful and gorgeous out there. There weren't too many boats due to the less than ideal weather. It was nice.

 We celebrated Granny's Birthday!!

 I love this singing shot...they are all singing with GUSTO!

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!! Only a few more weeks of school...this week is going to be another busy one with lots of performances. Should be fun!!
