Dance Recital

Rachel had a little dance recital the first weekend in March, and it was a VAST IMPROVEMENT if we're talking about trying to follow the teacher compared to last year's.  I posted the video below - Rachel's the one in the back row and if you only want to watch the best one minute, then I'd say 1:30-2:30.  I could tell she was really making an effort to do the dance moves and still having a great time.  My favorites are when she constantly has to get back on her little tape mark, coughs into her elbow, fairy dust sprinkle and spin, still so proud of first position, the girl in front of her who did.not.do.one.dance.move, it's all pretty good, but then again, I'm her biased mother.

My Grandma & Grandpa Thompson had their motorhome about 15 minutes away from us for about 2 weeks, so we got to see them a few times while they were so close.  We had them over for dinner one night, and then we visited their motorhome.  Grandpa gave us a ride in his little golf cart and the kids sang songs for them (technically Rachel would sing and then Andrew would say, "a one more?!"), we played "I spy", ate her snacks and looked for her cat who was hiding from the kids.  Anyway, Gma & Gpa also came to Rachel's little recital, which was very nice.

Recital video password is pink.


Great Grandma & Grandpa Thompson, we're glad they're snowbirds!!

Not the greatest pic, but of all Andrew's shirts, this is his favorite one - if he sees it, he gets so excited and says, "blue, blue blue!"

HA! Awesome! That little Rachel is definitely a dancer! Emmi would totally be the girl in front who wouldn't do once.single.dance.move!
