Orlando, Day 4 July 2, 2007




Well, today was pretty much filled with dance. Savanna left early in the morning for class and the rest of us slept until about 10. Just as we were getting up and getting ready for the pool, Savanna came back and said that Diane told them they could have a break from classes until 1. Apparently Diane had seen the score sheets from the night before and there was one judge that completely slammed the girls and caused their low scores. That particular judge was the one teaching the class that Diane let them skip. It turned out nice though because we were able to swim together and then have lunch together before the boys left for the airport. We ate lunch down at the convention center and she walked down to her last class. Brad took the boys to the airport for their flight. When Savanna got back from class we went to competition and watched a couple of the team members do their solos and then we picked up Brad and went to Downtown Disney. We wanted to eat dinner down there because we are tired of the food here. DD was okay, Savanna bought her souvenir which is a silver ring with her middle name (Shea) cut into it. It turned out really pretty and she is quite pleased.

We got back to the resort just in time for her to get ready for her solo. She wasn't expecting much as far as awards because of the one judge so I think she was probably more relaxed. I told her she was not dancing for the judges but for Dad and me - after all we paid to have her up there on that stage! She did great! We were very pleased, in fact all of our girls did beautifully. At awards only she and one other girl got high golds as awards. I was so happy for her. The other girl who got the high gold has a dance room in her house! Her mother lives vicariously through her of course I guess if I had to be honest I probably do to some extent too :-) LOL We have one more day here and then we will be heading home tomorrow. Today she is in a show at the MGM studios from 9-9:30 and then we are free until tonight when we have a "gala" to attend. I'm exhausted and want to go home!
