My Granddaughter’s Dance Recital

A fun afternoon for all at her beach bash

Granddaughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, son and I at a dance recital yesterday

Dance Recital

At a beach bash

Nice sunny day

Celebrating their year of dance

Everyone was happy to be there

~

Remembering last year

Everyone was so much smaller

Coming together to show us their talent

Inventive shows of older dancers

The beauty of the performances was wonderful

A full two hours of performance that seemed short

Loved my son and his daughter dancing the best.

~~~~

I waited for this little dancer for many years

My son, my baby, was forty-one when she came along

I am so grateful for having her in my life - Cheers!

Another granddaughter rode with me for a three-hour sing-along

We stayed for dinner afterward, and that was just great

The girls jumped on the trampoline and played hide-and-seek.

Spending time with my family is always first-rate.

We left early enough to get home as there is school this week.
