Day 4: Big Day of Competition

Today was a very exciting day.  Jordan's group got Gold with Everyone Wants to be a Cat.  And they also got a special judges award called "Simply Irresistible".  And Zoe's group numbers Alice, Got No Strings and Skaters Waltz also all got Gold awards.  And Alice got a special judges award called "Great Performance".  But the big excitement of the day was Zoe's solo. She competed in Division 2 Lyrical Solo.  And the competition was amazing.  The talent was incredible and the girls in the division were doing all kinds of acrobatic tricks. I was a nervous wreck and just hoped Zoe would be make it through and be happy with her performance afterwards.  We had 12 family and friends there- Granddad, Grandma B, Memere, Pepper, Aunt Donna, cousins Noah and Andrew, Dwayne and Mary, Pat and Helen and my great friend Elise.  Zoe ended up getting one of only 3 Platinum solo awards and she got 2nd place overall.  And she also got a special judges award titled "Look Out World, Here Comes Zoe!".  Zoe was thrilled and we were all so proud of her.  She has worked so hard this past year.  It was an awesome day!  Now, some pictures.
