We went to Lagoon again this year for the America On Stage Clogging Nationals. Oakley danced all afternoon Friday. She did 9 individual dances and then decided she wanted to try the dance off that evening and re-danced 3 of her individual dances. So she danced 12 dances that day. She was exhausted and her knees where killing her by the time she was finished.
She came home Friday with 5 first places and 4 second places. Not quite as good as she was hoping for but still INCREDIBLE!! She is such a good little dancer. On things like this you are seriously just at the mercy of the judge you are standing infront of and you never know what it is that that particular judge is looking for. You win some, you lose some. Either way she loves it and she keeps pushing forward and we will be back next year!
Saturday she did her two team dances and they got 1st places on both of those as well. We were finished dancing by 9:30 am and rides opened at 10 am. PERFECT!!
The only thing that wasn't perfect for the weekend was this sweet little girl woke-up in the middle of the night Friday night in her grandma's hotel room and threw-up. My poor Laiklie gets the throw-ups more often than any of my kids. She must just have a sensitive stomach. Poor thing! Poor grandma as well. She apparently tried texting me and I had just been up to check Oakley's blood and got the text....but only got the part of the text that said, "she is fine." I thought it was weird and went back to bed. So grandma took care of the sickie. She was dragging all day Saturday and didn't feel great....but do you think we could keep her off the rides?
NOPE!! She went on ride after ride. Every time we would get on one I would tell her where to throw-up if she was going to throw-up. I didn't want me, her or anyone else covered in it! :( On one ride that was a super spinney ride I asked if her tummy was okay and she said, "It's much better now that I am on this ride!" She is hilarious! She felt much better as the day went on thank goodness! We all had a blast with cousins and the weather was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend and we are SO PROUD of all the hard work Oakley put in that took us to Nationals to begin with!
