KAELYN'S DANCE RECITAL

Kaelyn loves to dance. Thanks to her Grandpa Bud and Grandma Mary she has been able to take lessons from Ms. Kari for the past 2 years. She loves to perform at home for her family and was very excited to be on stage performing 2 dances, a ballet and a jazz dance, for an audience larger than the family. She said she was not nervous at all. She says now that she can't wait until next year when she gets to learn new dance techniques and routines. Here are just a few pics of Kaelyn posing for the camera. Anyone who knows Kaelyn, knows about her posing for the camera - that tilt of her head and that big, big smile!

SEA WORLD

Shamu looking for fish from her trainers. After seeing the killer whale show, Kaelyn thought it would be great to grow up and be a killer whale trainer!

Kaelyn and Kenton get fish to feed to the seals and sea lions at Sea World. Believe it or not they actually picked up the dead fish themselves and threw them to the sea lions and seals.

Kenton is preparing to throw a fish to the barking sea lions. If they could jump out of the aquarium, they would. They were very excited to get some fish!

Emma was more interested in the bag of popcorn. She wanted to hold the bag and only she could hand out tiny handfuls of popcorn. No one was allowed to put their hand in her bag. So much for sharing a bag of popcorn with the family.

Justin had a conference in Orlando and so we invited his parents along. While he was at his conference, his parents, the kids and I hung out at Sea World with all the amazing creatures of the ocean. Justin and I also got to spend sometime with his best friend from college, Dave, and his family. Our families just happened to be vacationing in Florida at the same time. We had a blast hanging out with them! The kids loved seeing their grandparents and of course being spoiled!
