Last week belonged to Ashlyn.  For month's she's been practicing and practicing with the culmination being her recital this past weekend.  It kicked off last Tuesday was her dress rehearsal and dance photo's.

She had a team of people tending to her putting on her shoe bows and later embraced her twirls.

Afterwards we met Reghan and Heath at the fish store as we're finally getting the tank up and running again.

Both Reghan and Heath enjoyed most of the dances.  About an hour into it, Ashlyn was up.  With her being in a younger class, they perform in front of the curtain while the stage is changed behind it for the older kids.

 Yep, that's her in the middle.

We don't think she quite knew what to do during the applause.  She's right in front towards the left, up on her knees.

Afterwards she was a little overwhelmed but eventually took it in.

The older two have recently discovered photo bombing and are getting pretty good at it.

But she got plenty in there of just herself.

 And kept dancing, even while Daddy carried her to the car.

We had lunch at the Americana and our timing was perfect to catch the "dancing fountain" a couple of times.

 Love these kids.

The dance party continued in the lawn...such a wonderful day.  If you can't see the video below, click on the following link.  Dancing at the Americana

The weekend rounded out with an afternoon walk and along the way our numbers kept increasing and increasing.

 Although, I think three 7 year old's in our old school Radio Flyer might be a little much.
