Before class began Amanda was showing me First Position.
And Second Position.
Then they did a few stretches.... notice that my daughter can put her nose on her toes!!! How many of YOU can do THAT?!?!?!
I think this was the only time all the girls were in sync with the teacher! : )
Can you see the teacher in the mirror? Amanda doesn't look like that at all! HA HA.
Trying to take a bow. Here was the start.
... and the fall apart finish! : ) By the way, I laughed my butt off! It was so cute and so funny at the same time.
All done... trying to show me some moves up close.
So beautiful! But I think we'll try gymnastics next. : )
We had the car all pack for our weekend camping trip before ballet class so we hit the road to meet up with Grandpa Steve and Debbie at one of their favorite fishing lakes.

We had the car all pack for our weekend camping trip before ballet class so we hit the road to meet up with Grandpa Steve and Debbie at one of their favorite fishing lakes. It was a little too windy when we got there so we decided to fish off the dock instead of taking out the boat.
Amanda didn't want to change out of her ballet clothes so she went fishing in her tutu. She got lots of complements from the fellow anglers on the dock!
After a while, the wind died down some (at least that's what Logan said!) so we took the boat out in a sheltered part of the lake.
Grandpa Steve was very patient with our overly excited kids. They took turns driving the boat (with Grandpa helping, of course).
Logan was a "the grass is greener" fisherman. Whatever someone else was fishing with, he had to switch to that lure too. The fishing wasn't great, only Debbie caught a fish, but both kids really enjoyed spotting them on the fish finder.
Amanda didn't fish much, but I did manage to catch one photo of her with a pole in her hand. She spent most of her time "helping" Debbie fish. (i.e. making Debbie add stink bait to her hook)
A rare family photo!
A little dip in the 61 degree lake... BURRRRRRR! Notice no parents were in the water. We're not crazy!
The lake was also flooded so the kids thought it was pretty cool to explore the expanded shoreline.

It was a wonderful and busy weekend. Just how we like it!
What a great time! The water does look cold, but somehow kids just never seem to mind.
