Better Late Than Never!

Well, it has been two months since this happened so I am a little bit behind, but like I said better late than never. My sister Andrea and I had a dance competition down at Thanksgiving Point. At about 5:30 on a Saturday morning we got up, finished loading the car and drove down to Thanksgiving Point. ( Just my parents, Andrea and me). The boys were with my grandma and grandpa Anderson.) So at about 7:30 we arrived .
We walked in to the show barn where we would be performing and found a seat to sit down. We picked up a program and saw that Andrea's duet with her friend Emery had been moved from 9:15 to 10:15. So we sat there and and waited for them to go on stage. They did SO good. For two 6 year olds a Third Place ( Which is what they got) is AWESOME.
Then I had 3 dances to do. My first one was not untill 3:00, so we left with Aunt Liz who had met us there and went to Cabella's and ate at the grill they have there. Then we looked at guns and camping gear while Liz and I were teasing each other that the moose heads on the wall were us. ( Ha Ha ) Then we went shopping in American Fork at Target, Dollar Tree, and Famous Footwear.
After that we drove back to the competition and my coach Emily helped me review for my freestyle. For those of you who may not know a free style is when you make up a dance to 6 counts of 8 and you are judged on how well you can stay with the music. I went on stage and competed. So, one down two more to go.
I took a first in freestyle which I am so happy because there is a possibility that Emily is going to help me get ready to move up from the Intermediate level to the Advanced level. Yeah! When I walked off stage my mom met me with my other costume in hand and we ran off to the dressing room. After I had changed, I found my coach and team and we went to practice our dance "Girlfriend." We competed that and received 1st place. We are moving up from Intermediate to Advanced. My parents then took Andrea and I to Cafe Rio and I got a chicken salad that gave me energy to hurry back and compete my last dance at 7:15 in the Advanced level which is "Country Roads." We took 3rd place and we were happy with it because if we got all 1st places, we wouldn't have anything to improve on.
Although I was tired and slept very well that night, it was fun and my sister and I did what we both LOVE to do....... DANCE like we never dreamed we could.
We both wouldn't have been able to do this without our teams, our coach, our grandparents, and last but not least our parents. Thanks!
