Dance Festival

This summer, I made Kyara, Romney, and Johnette participate in the dance festival in Redlands. Kyara was especially reluctant -- she hates dancing, and all of her friends had gotten out of it. The practices were often grueling, and the adults involved weren't always very organized and sometimes complained more than the kids. However, our ward had wonderful adult helpers, some even without any kids participating. Kyara's partner was fun, even though he was as shy as she is initially. Romney was hitting on chicks the entire time. Johnette is Johnette and approached it with her usual exuberance! The night of their first performance went off spectacularly! They did a great job, they had loads of fun, and it looked fantastic. On the ride home, I asked, "Who is glad their mom made them do the dance festival?" All three voices answered, "Me!" I am so glad they had this once in a lifetime opportunity! http://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/news/ci_10044380
