Maci's first dance recital

The week before maci's first recital, we were allowed to go into her dance class to watch and take pictures. she was so wild...i was kind of embarrased and did not think that her rectital was going to go very well.

waiting for class to start


stretching





this is maci out of control when she is supposed to be practicing her recital dance

trying to get into first position....poor thing is pigeon toed and has a hard time with it...she has turned all the way around trying to get her feet to turn out.


THERE....she FINALLY got it!



she worked so hard to get into this position that she wouldn't move the whole time they were doing ballet.



skipping across the floor


the obstacle course in tumbling...she loves this




donkey kicks


maci's dance class...minus one more little girl




maci's first recital....she is late coming on the stage because she panicked when the lights were out and would not stay on the stage. she cried and finally they went ahead and turned on the lights and started the music and she decided to come back.

back stage!

Family Vacation!

In October, we went to Sea Grove Beach in Florida. Maci has not been to the beach since she was 8 months old. So this really was her first experience on the beach. The first few days were REALLY cold! We had to wear our long pants, sweatshirts, and coats. But eventually, it warmed up and we were able to play in the ocean!


This is the FABULOUS house that we rented for the week

The pool...it was too cold to swim in it!











Maci's ride.....she was in a trailer attached to Brad's bicycle. We rode bikes EVERYWHERE.




First time on the beach...she said look at all the snow!




COLD day! We stayed in and played Candyland.




Maci won!
