Oh What Fun it is to Dance at a Scythian Show!

The girls had a blast, as did their friends, grandparents, siblings and parents. What a fun night! Moira, Eileen and friend Elizabeth performed their planned number, which they had choreographed months ago from another event - it worked well! They did a great job. Later in the night the other dancers in attendance (that would be Colleen, Bridget, Teresa and one of their teachers) were able to jump in for a couple of reels. Saint Brendan's Inn, and of course Scythian, were so very welcoming! Now they are excited to dance again tomorrow. Since I was unable to attend the first show, I will take more pictures at the Thursday show. Here are a few that the girls' friends took...

The day before the show, we hunted down some Packer tickets for the guys. They were thrilled to attend a game at Lambeau Field.  Here are the girls with the band members (and two and their sound/light guys): Alex, Dan, Dante, Moira, Joey, Eileen, Nathan and Mike




Bridget, Colleen and Teresa checking out Scythian's big bus...the "Church Bus"


The girls had to assemble the small stage for their performance.  It was slippery, so they pulled out their best trick, learned from past experience....that is, spraying the whole floor with extra hold hairspray, as Moira is doing in this picture.  Yup, that did the trick!




Here are the three girls, Elizabeth, Moira and Eileen, all ready to dance.


The dancing shoes are properly decorated with Scythian stickers!



Scythian...


We do have some videos, which I will try to post once my kids finish uploading them :)

Oh, and if you said a prayer for Eileen's dress to arrive in time for Thursday's performance, THANK YOU!!!  It arrived on time, she is completely thrilled with it and it fits her perfectly! She cannot wait to wear it for the first time.  I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.

Milwaukee Irish Fest!

Milwaukee Irish Fest!!! It's always a great day/weekend of the summer. We were only there for one of the four days this year. If you don't know what Milwaukee Irish Fest is go HERE

It was Tim, Fr. Denny, Pat, Grandma and Grandpa D, my dad, Kelley, Owen, Emmett, Eileen, Colleen, Bridget and I who went down for the day. My Uncle Tim and Fr. Denny spent the day at their Franciscan U party, and the rest of us spent a little time there. We shopped, enjoyed the music, ran into friends, us girls found ourselves critiquing the dancing of our friendly rival schools in WI, etc.
