( ahhhhhh, that was a fun day!! )



...yep, what a great weekend! I'm sunburned, bruised and aching all over today, but it was so worth it! I can't remember having so many good laughs and being IN the water swimming and having so much fun at the lake since i was a teenager! we had excellent company of family and friends and i'm so glad we had such a memorable day together!
.....i need to get some photos from my moms camera to share something else with you, but on thursday night ( july 24 ) our family had a special "evening in scotland" with some of our family and friends to have a get-together before we leave for our trip and to say 'thank you ' to all those who have participated in our fundraisers through the dance school for this trip. we wanted to share courtney's dancing with everyone as most of you have heard about and seen photos of her dancing events, but not seen her dance in person. or if you have, it's been at concerts where it's been all group choreography and does not even come close to all her hard work, lessons and practicing through the year required for her individual competitions, which is mostly what the final outcome of highland dance is. so, we had a special evening to share this with everyone and let courtney perform 9 of her competition dances she will be performing while away in Scotland.
i took some photos but NONE of her dancing!!! i was "M.C.-ing" the evening, and was giving history of the dances in between so courtney could catch her breath!! but , i know mom and a few others were taking photos of her dancing, so i am hoping to get some copies ( PRETTY PLEASE! ) from those of you who were taking pic's!!!! ( and i will pay you back for them if you get me copies!!! )
anyway, that was our thrusday and i will share photos with you soon from that!!
well, we are now down to 17 more days until we leave and i had better get my head into that mode or else we will be leaving with empty suitcases!!! hahaha!! so many things to make lists for ( which i am usually good at, but am so lost right now....) so i have to get my thinking cap on!
I have ordered all my supplies i need for the hall crops starting in september and it's all here...at least i have that accomplished!! LOL!
well, off i go to get things done....lots of laundry to do, i guess i'll start there!
ugh.
