About a week ago, I was reading an old work friend's blog. She had posted pictures of two super cute beach towels that she had bought for her little girls for their upcoming beach trip. As soon as I saw them, I knew Addi and Karsyn needed would like one too. I got in contact with my friend and found out that she bought them from Bed Bath and Beyond and they were only $8! Last Friday, I let Addi and Karsyn pick out one for themselves while we were out shopping. Karsyn picked out a mermaid beach towel! So cute!

Tonight, Evan, Payton, and I went to watch my niece, Natalie, preform in her Spring Color Guard Show. Payton was so excited to see her friend, Lindsey, from soccer. She was even more excited when I told her that Lindsey could sit by us. And of course, Payton loved sitting by her cousin, Emily too!

I was a little surprised when Evan said that he wanted to go. It didn't take me too long to figure out Evan's motivation for going...he wanted to hang out with Stephen!

When I was in high school, the girls who were in Color Guard were called "Flag Girls." They danced and twirled their flags along with the marching band during football games and the Christmas Parade. Now, they do that and so much more! It was a lot of fun to watch them perform tonight. Payton literally sat at the edge of her seat the entire show. It was kind of an emotional night for some, as it was the last performance for the senior girls and boys.
Their routine was awesome! It was called "Poisoned!" I loved watching Payton eyes as they would throw the flags way up in the air and then catch them!
Natalie did an AWESOME job! I had always associated Color Guard with the marching band, so I was blown away by such a dramatic performance. Payton has decided that she wants to try out for the Color Guard when she old enough. I see dance classes in her near future. =) My niece, Emily, wants to follow in her big sister's foot steps too. She'll be able to try out next school year! Here's a picture of the team after the show. I borrowed it from my brother's facebook page. =)
I feel like such a proud aunt tonight and I am so glad that we were able to be there!
AWW that brings back so many memories. I was in Color Guard all through High School! I loved it!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun evening. I love stuff like dance performances and this sound just like it.
ReplyDeleteAlso those towels are super-cute. My kids got cute hooded towels handed down to them and I just love them. We have a pink rabbit and a blue dog.
