Ella had her 1st competition of the season on March 14 at Copper Hills Highschool in Salt Lake.  We went down Friday after school to stay at aunt Monicas house.

Stage practice and packing

We grabbed a couple dozen Krispy Creams on the way, and got some fresh hot ones!

 We had a pizza dinner and played with cousins

 Good morning sunshine.  She had it easy.  Being in Salt Lake made it possible to sleep past 5 am to get ready for the day.

 Naomi came to the competition with us.  They are both amazing dancers and love sharing this with each other.

 Stretching

 Ella's company with one of her awesome teachers-Julie

She danced at 10:30. 12:30, 3:30 and 8:30.  With the big gaps in time we did have some time to kill. Lunch was at Monicas, and dinner time we went to Scheels.

We had great support from family.  Uncle Mikey came as well!

Awards

We got home past midnight on Saturday.
