Summer has come & gone since my last post and what a great & busy summer it was! Picking up where I left off, Molly & all of our Steps girls did great and brought home many awards. It rained everyday of our stay in Daytona and we ended up making a trip to Sea World instead of Disney at the end of the week.
As we left Sea World, we met the couple with our new puppy, Stroker Bo...a blue-eyed silver lab. It was quite a long & interesting trip home with 2 kids & a 6 week-old puppy. I think we managed to pull into the house around 1am!
For Molly's birthday, we went back to Myrtle Beach again this year. It was definitely a trip to remember with all of the small 'disasters' that took place. Halli dislocated her shoulder and we spent 4 hours at the Emergency Room with her just so she could pop it back in place herself before we ever saw the doctor; Molly took a major wipeout by a wave that caused her to be scared of the ocean the rest of the trip; we had our Yeti cooler, Dewalt radio and Oakley sunglasses stolen while we were at supper one night; and, we waited 4 hours to get a table at Margaritaville for Molly's birthday just to find out that all the "stiltmen" that celebrate birthdays had gone home for the night. However, things could have always been worse & we have another memorable vacation in the books!
For Eric's birthday, he & I made a trip to the St. John's river to do some mullet fishing. Again, things didn't go quite as planned. On the first morning, his boat tore up so he rented a pontoon & then it tore up. He called the camp for help and they promptly sent a boat to tow him in, but then it tore up. Finally, about 5 hours later he made it back. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the boat shop, and managed to get in about 2 hours of great fishing before it tore up again! So, we called it quits, headed to Daytona, ate at Bubba Gump's and watched 2 movies!
Molly & I traveled to Irmo, SC for Southern Strutt's bootcamp a few weeks ago. She had the opportunity to take classes from some amazing choreographers and dancers, including Mandy Moore, Nick Lazarrini, and Ivan Koumaev (my fave)...
Molly started a new school this year and has mixed emotions about it right now. I am hoping that it is just because it is all just different to her...a new school, new friends, new teachers, new routine, etc. I hope things continue to improve for her & that she begins to love it soon. With the start of school came the start of a new dance year, gymnastics lessons & pep squad practices. I hope we ALL can adjust to the new, BUSY routine quickly!
