Dance Recital

The class pictures were free but the individual ones weren't so I didn't purchase them but just took a screen shot of them - they look sort of silly but still kind of cool.  They girls have had some good times at CADA but we are moving on in part because they are not offering our classes any more 😂.







Greg took some photos at the performance.





The performance was the day after Kate's farewell talk so Grandma Nani, Zella, and Dahlia were able to attend along with Grandma and Grandpa Dame and the Wilford girls.

Family Pictures

Emily and Lily got home from girls camp a couple hours before Mack and Sophia pulled into town and just a few hours later we headed to Heather's house fore family pictures (We may have arrived late because everyone was watching World Cup).
Greg took this pic while we were getting set up.














Girls Camp

Lily and Emily headed up to Cascade for Girls camp.  They had a great time with hikes, skits, Frozen play at Starlight, kayaking by North Beach, secret sisters, hidden cat figurines, poke art and yummy food.
This was Emily's pre-camp tie dye creation - she later added a tail and a bit of a face so it looked like a cat.
They got to stay in yurts instead of tents.
The view was gorgeous but so marshy you couldn't get any where near the shore.

Kitty poke art.

Starlight after the play.
North Beach!  Emily was so excited to kayak in one of her favorite places.  She even managed to spot a mama and baby moose for nearly the whole group to see. 





Greg and I came up on Thursday and joined them on a great hike and then the play at Starlight.  We managed to get a little sunburned but we had a great time.

May: Concerts, Asia Trip, Blake visit

The girls impressed us all with their spring voice recital.  Lily even looked like Belle when she sang her song from Beauty and the Beast.  And Emily lit up and put on a show while she sang her song about a girl wishing for a boy.
Lily also had her end of year band concert and got introduced as "Lily on the keys" for the jazz band.

Grandpa invited Andrew to go to Cambodia and Vietnam with him.  I told Andrew that part of his job was keeping Grandpa safe.  But grandpa ran the show, keeping Andrew busy and learning a lot.

Mack and Sophia stoped by out place on their way to and from California.  We soaked up our time with Blake.





And these two are from Mack once they got home.  Can't get enough of her.
