Granddaughter knew all her dances and performed well. Costumes from her first performance. The second The third And from her fourth and final Me, I am looking at all the costumes purchased for these girls, and I am calculating how many nice cruises that would have bought. Most of the dance groups probably had between 15 and 20, but the finale had to have more than 50. Been there, done that, for more than 10 years. Add in studio costs, competition costs, travel costs, etc. and it's the equivalent of several nice cruises a year. Glad I'm done (I mean my daughter's done 😜). My daughter isn't actually done as she's now coaching part time at her old studio. That doesn't cost me anything though. Even though it's been a few years for me, I'm going to guess, in the order that you posted the pictures, that these routines were lyrical, ballet, jazz, and hip hop. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes on and on, big conflicts that destroy hundreds of lives at a time, and small ones that destroy families. I had a very bad fall and fractured my femur as well as breaking off pieces of it. my surgery was May 15, just 11 days after my granddaughter’s wedding. I am so grateful I was able to be healthy for the wedding. I am not allowed to put my right foot on the floor for a minimum of 3 months. my left leg won’t hold me up, so they’re working on strengthening it. With not much luck so far. Getting me into a wheelchair requires a sling and lifting machine. very painful. I don’t know what my future holds, or what will happen when I leave the rehab hospital. But I am grateful for the physical and mental safety for my family. I hope and pray for the same in the future for the rest of the world. I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. Hopefully, the rehab hospital will work its magic and you'll get back to a normal life, in whatever form that takes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH started the day by seeing a kangaroo hopping down our street…Then we did a lovely morning walk through the Jervis Bay National Park passing by several gorgeous white sand beaches. Delighted to see dolphins. Had a delicious late lunch in the local cafe. From our table outdoors, I spotted a kangaroo happily munching the grass in someone’s backyard opposite. Then we had a little adventure in the Boodoree National Park heading out to see the ruined Lighthouse. The Lighthouse ruins site is a great place to whale watch. It’s only the beginning of the season, so we were delighted to see three humpbacks passing by. I love your photos @aussielozzie18 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very polished in their routines. I keep telling my grandson he should take dance. He has some good moves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted May 26 #122495 Share Posted May 26 Yesterday started with a couple baseball games, but the heavy rain came before the first game was suspended. That is where we are today. They finished the game from yesterday (grandson’s team won 7-3). He is getting ready for the start of the next game now. Then, another one after it, so technically three games today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
