Ayla's Recital (4/5)

This costume snapped her right back into a performing state of mind. The number was called Rock-n-Roll Robot and it stole the show. She had a good time and pulled off the moves she had been practicing for so long.

Ayla's Recital (3/5)

After the tears of a clown. Her next number was a slumber party theme where most of the time she was sitting down passing a toy back and forth with her friend Jordan. This helped her pull her emotions back together.

Ayla's Recital (2/5)

This set of photos was taken by her teachers. This must have been shortly before they went on. She's a bit more pensive it seems. Putting on her red clown wig set her off and she cried with her arms crossed while the other girls danced themselves silly.

Ayla's Recital (1/5)

Last year's semester ending dance show sent Ayla through a range of emotions over three numbers she was in. Here she is clowning around backstage before the curtain went up.

Boarding was Ridiculous

Mad scramble with too much hand carry. I had Ari's hat. Ayla had Perrin's stuffed animal. Perrin had someone else's stroller and her face tells the story of a four hour drive with no nap. But we made it!
