Performance Day!

Lily and her Irish dance group performed in March and it was quite a big deal. They had an Irish band perform, so they were dancing to live music for some of the show. It was really a great night! Poor Lily started feeling bad half way through the show, but carried on and danced her heart out (if you look at the pictures after dancing, you can see in her eyes she didn't feel well). Afterwards, she went home and crashed with a 101 degree fever. She missed church the next day, still running a fever, and then missed school on Monday....her first day all year! She was so sad. :(

Equine Day with the Girl Scouts

Lily and some of the girls in her Brownie troop travelled out to a local university to check out their equine center for the morning. They got to learn about different things, including horse care and they even made treats for the horses! She got to ride and trot on a horse, which she loved! It was a busy day!

Day of the Dance

Lily's Irish dance troupe does a Day of the Dance around the schools in our county on St. Patrick's day to celebrate the Irish culture. They did a great job and everyone at Lily's school loved her and her friends! Below are the ones that go to her school. Lily brought home LOTS of "fan" letters from kids at school, including some of the teachers and the principal! She felt like a rock star!
