Avery had her 2nd dance recital this year and performed again at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion. This year she danced to Jimmy Buffet’s “Take Me to the Island”… naturally, since it’s a classic ballet song. ;) We’ll skip the part about how we thought we left her dance bag at home and how we managed to forget her flowers (Jannie &; Pops to the rescue!) and instead talk about how awesome she did. Dress rehearsal was a little rough for her class, but they figured it out for the show, and Avery did great! I know how hard it is for her to get up in front of an audience (and this one was a REALLY big one!), but she didn’t miss a beat! Here’s my little islander (although after the lei was wrapped around her head twice, we’re not really sure what island they were going for…):
And here she is in action:
After the show, we headed to dinner to celebrate Avery’s recital, Jannie’s birthday and thank all of the grandparents for coming to watch her dance!
Here we go with all the token shots…

Sunday, the Pratis came over to swim (and guess who is SWIMMING!!???)! The weather was perfect, and the kids had such a great time in the pool!
The crew, minus the dads:
Jack, Avery & Kyle:
We headed to our neighborhood Memorial Day party for dinner, where we ate too much, drank too much and laughed too much! I’m pretty sure that Anna ate approximately half of the watermelon all by herself. Really wish I would have had my camera – she was double fisting the watermelon all night. Avery loved playing with the older girls – at one point, she came up to me to say, “Mommy, I’m having lots of fun with the big girls… they really like playing with me.”
Yea for holidays!
