We are dancers, what do you expect?

On Saturday I had a Ballet Utah opening social. I got there early to do glitter toes!. I love them, they are blue and sparkly of course :D For our February show we are doing excerpts from Don Quixote so we watched that. It is so amazing, the guy lifts the girl with one hand like 10 times and the costumes are great. My director was screaming while that was happening and I happened to be getting my nails done so I couldn't see it, we went back to it later when more people were coming and each time another girl would be like what happened, then saw him lift her again and joined our screaming. We ate and talked while more people got glitter toes. Our Director has a pool in her complex, so we all went swimming. We played keep the ball out of the water, we got to 21 hits. I wanted to create a water ballet, but that idea only lasted about 5 minutes, but I did start it, it was The Little Mermaid. Gradually, most people left to get their toes done, but 5 of us stayed longer and started leaping of the side of the pool. We are dancers, what do you expect! then we went back and played speed friendshipping, but because we were short on time, we just went around in a circle and answered the questions. It was fun to get to know some of the other girls that I didn't know as well. there were some embarrassing moments, and then some funny questions like if you were a vegetable, what would you be and why? Or where is your favorite place to shop? I had a lot of fun and can't wait for our Don Q breakfast!! Oh man I have so much I could write about, but it can be saved for other posts.

Summer

So since summer is over, maybe I should write about it. In June I had my Performance of Cinderella which was so much fun! Two weeks later I headed off to girls camp up at mutual dell, we had 11 girls in an 8 man tent, easy. I love my ward. Lots of fun inside jokes and stories for sure. The next week I went to EFY! with Allie and Katie. SO MUCH FUN. We had the best group, the best counselors, and the best food at the Cannon Center. We even had a mascot, Seth the Puffer fish he was awesome.
























































After EFY I had a 2 week break. Then I started Summer Dance workshops. I really learned a lot from them and was able to improve. A week or so later I went up to Jen's house. We played some very intense games of Hide and go Seek Tag. I'd have to say the most intense yet. Jen even played a few rounds :D. We went shopping and got the kids stuff for school. Jen made Cheesecake for her Birthday and it was so good I could have eaten like 3 slices that night. I went to YW's at her ward and we made washer necklaces, I love them! We slept out in the camper most of the nights I was up there, and I happened to get eaten. On Thursday I came home and went to do Baptisms for the Dead with my ward, afterward we got yougurt at Maceys, peach and boysenberry, or maybe blackberry, anyways it was super good. Last Saturday I had auditions for Ballet Utah. I was kinda nervous, but I made it. I'm way excited for this year. Then on the 18th we went back up to Jen's to go to the Martin Harris Pagaent in Clarkston. That was a good performance I really enjoyed it. Wednesday was the last day of summer for me. Nothing too exciting really. I mostly sat around waiting for dance class. We had a guest teacher, it was different but good, I think I got too used to my teachers and they way they did things, so summer workshop was good as well. Thursday. School. Bleh. Well I guess it wasn't too bad but it was the first day and really kind of boring. My teachers are cool, but in some of my classes I don't really know anyone. On Friday I went to school and then me and my dad went to Harry Potter 6. It was a good movie and I enjoyed it, there were only 4 or 5 others there, but thats ok. On Saturday I had dance and then I helped Lynn sort pictures to get ready to distribute, then I babysat til about 10 30 or so. I was pretty tired but it was a fun day. Thats about it for my summer, now its on to the School year, I'm excited to be a junior, but that means that I am almost a senior. Scary. Well I better go.
