The Nifty Fifties

What an amazing day! 3 vans, 18 homeschool moms, 5 birthday girls and 1 Mr. Golden Sun made for a memorable day trip to Whidbey Island and Port Townsend. Expired documents, conversation that waned and "waxed"throughout the day, together with an onslaught of goodies while travelling, lunching and beaching left us laughing and content! So glad that there are still a few of us "younguns" left making it necessary to gather again for another Nifty Fifty celebration! "We are all here because we are not all there"

Anticipating the Shows!

Looking forward to seeing a few Ballets that American Ballet Theater will be putting on while we are there. Will it be "Le Corsaire"? Katy knows three variations from this ballet. Or La Bayadere? Katy has learned 4 Shades variations and the Gamzatti variation. Or Swan Lake? She hasn't learned any from Swan Lake yet. Maybe this coming year! Any bloggers know why I can't space things out better despite leaving spaces between photos and sentences in the draft. And why my text isn't all underneath despite clicking to centre text underneath photo?

Countdown to New York City

Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be counting down the days till I would be travelling to New York City with one of my children. The dropping of the ball in New York on New Years has been the only "count down" I knew of that related to New York but know in 13 days Katy and I will be flying to New York where she will be attending the American Ballet Theater's Summer Ballet Intensive for five weeks. So today I determined that I would start practicing blogging so that we can share our experience with friends and family. I will hopefully be trying to add little things here and there in the next 13 days in order to be able to blog quicker once we are there. The first challenge will be to change the photo of us at the Grand Canyon when we travelled to Disneyland with Katy and Deas Island Dance. Can't believe how everyone has changed! The boys will not be coming this time but they will be kept busy with other fun summer stuff and save their money for future travel.
