Dance Recital

The girls' had their year-end dance recital in early June. This was Georgia Ann's very first dance recital and she did great! She did a 'ballet' dance to "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story. This was Sara's second dance recital (but her 3rd year of dance). And, she did a tap dance to "I was born to sing and dance". They both did so great!! We were quite proud of them!

Camping!!

For our anniversary, we took the girls back to San Antonio for a camping trip. We really love the little KOA there. They have great, shaded areas for tent camping, nice bathrooms, and big pool and a playground. There is plenty to keep the girls entertained. We also had better luck this time around because:

1) The truck made it ALL the way there without breaking down. Though, Sara was disappointed that she didn't get to ride in a tow truck this time.
2) We splurged on a nice, new tent. It fits our family with some extra room. Plus, it vents so nicely. It got so cool at night that I had to turn off the fans both nights.

It was a great little get-away, complete with s'mores, ghost stories and a little champagne for mommy and daddy!

A very upset Georgia Ann. She was sad that Sara didn't save her a seat on the horse swings.

A new post!

You're welcome Jessica ;)

Anyway, I'm obviously WAY behind on updating all of y'all. I have literally months worth of pictures to look through and post. But, I just can't find the time! So, I'm just going to jump right into the present...with the good intentions to post the about the past 6 months sometime later.

With that said - here are my favorite 30 or so pictures from our annual Garner State Park trip. We had another fabulous week there this summer. The girls are enjoying it more and more with each year and I think it only a matter of a year or two till they'll be begging us to go to the dance every night. I'm so glad to be able to share the same childhood experiences with them.

A new annual picture.

Georgia Ann and Sara - excited to be at the big dance!

Granny and the girls dancing under that big oak tree!

The girls dancing together. I hope they always love each other this much.

  

Sara and Pa-Paw.

Georgia Ann and Me! Thank you, Chad, for taking over the camera!

Chad and Sara!

Sara quickly learned how to 'troll' for dancers and was quite efficient at filling up her dance card. This little boy, Grayson, was the first to ask Sara to dance. And, then he proceeded to teach her how to two-step. She's pretty good at it now. I didn't learn until 5th grade!

 Georgia Ann couldn't let her big sister dance too long with a boy without cutting in. She was daddy's little helper! :)

Nana Jan and Grandpa joined us for the second half of the week. 

S'MORES!! (Sara still calls them s'nores)

On the way to the dance, I saw this pretty little patch of flowers - so we stopped for an impromptu 'photo-shoot'

More dancing!
