Happy 11th Birthday princessdoll!

the boys made it out!

Watching the balloons drop.

Skilled dancinG!

And just like they rehearsed.... line up kids, and back to your seats.

The tablecloths dance!

There was a picture that I didn't post from way down below. There was a woman that walked through 30 kids and asked them to practice the straight arm. Guess which child never got it right.... the bouffant blond...

check this out...

I absolutely love the MAYQueen from last year sitting in the big chair... watching the drummers.

The people of mayday

For whatever reason the camera wouldn't cooperate, but this lady ended up giving this girl a huge hug. It was all too sweet... and the camera missed, but it is forever in my mind.

11 year old piper.

just about 1 1/2 hours later

And almost a bottle of hairspray!

I'll pay to wait....

reminds me of the elizabethan period.....

taking a moment

Ready, set, march

Just to be sure...

they practiced again.

this wasn't a form of punishment... but have a look at the girl on the left. She showed up with spongy curlers jammed in her head.

Another twirl, just to get it right.

run throughs...

More checking things twice

Adults in their stations.

Another run through... just to be safe

then....

The speaker got a bit boring, so it was time to check what the nails were doing.
