April brought on traveling to California for Maddox to participate in Dance Excellence. Our dance studio was chosen to represent Georgia and Maddox was selected to dance with the team from our studio who competed in LA. Maddox had a wonderful week - she learned many new different styles of dance in classes each day, went to Cirque De Soleil, danced and spent the day at Universal Studios, shopped at her very first Lululemon store, and got all dressed up for the final evening banquet. While Mads was busy each day, I explored LA with other dance moms and enjoyed the company and friendships on this journey. Ryan, Maryn and Chapman flew out to meet us midweek which was a fabulous treat - I don't like to be away from my babies. When the convention ended on Friday, Ryan, myself and the girls went to spend time with family in Laguna Beach before venturing south to LaJolla for few nights. LaJolla is a beautiful little gem we found years ago. We loved it then and we fell more in love while there in April. It's quaint, it has great food, you can walk everywhere and the sea lions are everywhere. We loved hanging out in the park especially with the bubble guy - he was amazing and everyone was his friend. Of course, no LaJolla trip is complete without a stop by the Taco Stand. While we were away, the three bigs worked all day every day at the Masters Golf Tournament while our house was being rented out for the week.
The best art made with the best art teacher!
Maryn's field trip to the Augusta Canal
Purple always looks good when you are your teachers wear it together!
Taylor Swift, Eras Tour. MK and friends went the first night, Maddox and friends went the second night. Memories include MK getting not one but TWO codes to purchase tickets - some people did not even get one code yet she pulled away with two! Arriving at our hotel and our room wasn't ready so we made do with what we had - sockets for flat irons in the hotel bar. Uber ride to the concert was fine and cheap....Uber ride home never arrived leaving us walking back to our hotel in the rain in the middle of Atlanta after midnight. But it was fine and fun and we are all so glad we were there together!
May brought about Mother's Day celebrated on the canal bike riding followed by lunch with my sister and mother, Pryce's 21st Birthday spent in Miami with Colin at an F1 race, Chapman presenting flowers to her music teacher and going to see Seussical the Musical.
Dance Company pictures - always a fun treat! They have made some of the best friends and we are thankful for their time dancing together.
