Yesterday Katrine danced her highland dances for the last time this summer. No more Saturday competitions for a while now because….we will be in China!!!!!! She test drove a new kilt and jacket which fit her better than her green one. She also danced the best that she has all summer. Uxbridge was a really big competition but she managed to get a third and two fourths. She was super excited and very proud of herself. To celebrate, she went and made pottery with one of her friends. Yes, they actually had a potter and a wheel at the competition who was letting the kids have a go. She made a really pretty clay pot…with some help. Overall it was a great way to end a week of dancing (This week was her dance camp complete with crafts, swimming and bowling….oh yes, dancing too). Today she is off to Uxbridge again. This time with Dad to dance her national dances for the first time in competition. If she wins anything I will post again. We are honestly hoping that she just finishes each of the dances and has some fun doing it. While they are there, I am getting ready to have our fabulous travel group over for a barbeque. It will be nice getting re-acquainted before we travel.
As for our garden, I am proud to report that we have summer squash!! They are little yet but I am watering them diligently. Keeping our fingers crossed that they will be ripe and squashy before the end of the week.
