Labor Day Weekend

Hello and Happy Labor Day weekend! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a lot of fun from Friday night until this morning. Here's what we did.

Ella, Samantha and Charlotte had a soccer fun night Friday night, so of course we all went. There were three-on-three tournaments, bounce houses, food and a lot of fun. Audrey wanted to play in the tournament, so Ella asked her coach if she could play on Ella's team. The coach agreed and Audrey got to play. Ella and Audrey were the winners of their league, and they were elated. Charlotte and Samantha also won. Here are pictures of our winners.

 High-five!

Saturday was a little less hectic. We had a big Labor Day veterans show with our dance company, and Melodie and Mom spent most of the day sewing costumes and finding music. I took Ella and Ariana to the park, and Melodie decided to join us to take pictures.

Ella didn't actually carry Ariana to the park this way, but the girls like goofing around, and Melodie loves getting pictures.

Before we started off, Melodie wanted a picture. The white dog is Anna, a Yorkie. The pug is Lauren. We love them both so much.

Lauren really wanted to go to the park. Ariana, who had taken the leash, couldn't keep up.

Lauren! She kept jumping up on Melodie, so Melodie bent down and took this picture. Silly puppy.

Puppy love. Maybe this was Lauren's way of apologizing for pulling Ariana.

 We met Briana, Elizabeth and Anna on the way. Their light brown dog, Chrissa, is a bit wild, and Anna, the basset hound, is a big sweetie.

Audrey is holding onto Curly, Charlotte's pug. Lauren and Curly are puppy besties.

Melodie had the girls take a picture when we got home. How cute.

Sunday was a crazy day. We had dress-rehearsal for the veteran's show. Mom was there and took pictures before of everyone. Here are pictures of the soloists and duets.

Samantha had a solo to start of the program. The pictures are in order of how they were on the program. Samantha's dance, 'Goddess,' was inspired by Greek mythology. 

Ariel's routine was inspired by the song Part of Your World from Disney's The Little Mermaid.

Elizabeth and Anna did a duet called 'Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?' from Frozen.  They look just like Elsa and Anna.

Audrey's dance 'The Rose' was inspired by Beauty and the Beast. I love her dress.

Ella and Ariana had a dance called 'Sisters'. Perfect for two sisters.

Hazel choreographed her own solo, called 'Angel'. She looks so pretty in her white dress.

Charlotte and I have been working on our 'Cardinal and Bluebird' duet for a couple of months. Don't we look fabulous?

Melodie and Briana helped backstage, and they had solos during our group number.

Our group number was called 'Spirit of America'. This was taken after the performance today. We had a lot of fun dancing for veterans.

I hope your Labor Day weekend was as fun as ours.

What did you do for Labor Day weekend?
