Watch Week at Irish Dancing

Kailtyn has been taking Irish dancing lessons since September. She goes to The Clark Academy of Irish Dancein Crestwood. She really enjoys it and will often "jig" all over the house if the mood strikes her right! She's been doing so well, that her teacher (Ms. Mary Jo) suggested we think about entering her in her first competition ("Feis" in Irish dancing terminology). She will be competeing in her First Feis on February 19! She will also be performing at a private event with the rest of the dance compnay next weekend! She is really looking forward to "being on stage" as she says! Here are some photos from her class last evening. I have posted any because there is only one week a month where parents are permitted into the studio to watch. She is doing really well for only being in classes for 4 months!

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning!
