May 23 - Beat It

Wow-another crazy busy, fabulous weekend here in Houston. Saturday morning we were up bright and early for an Orca swim meet. Julia swam backstroke in the medley relay (they did great and came in third place) and she won the 25 yard freestyle. She improved on her time from last week, go Julia! We packed up our stuff and headed to the local university for dress rehearsal. There are 12 kids in the hip hop routine (10 girls and 2 boys) and we had seven for the dress rehearsal, which I was allowed to record. For the actual performance, one of the girls had to leave (she was sick) so they were down 4 people (2 were at a piano recital, another's parents forgot about the recital and the last one was sick). So, 4 out of 12 missing was not ideal and all of those kids happened to stand on the same side of the stage for the performance. It definitely looked a little unbalanced but the kids had fun. They did an encore performance on Sunday and everyone showed up-they all did a wonderful job!!
