Polynesian Dance Camp...

I must explain how something so little brought so much JOY.

About two weeks ago I received an email from a lady in my ward who explained that she was doing a Polynesian dance camp at her house for the week of July 20th-July 24th and the week would end with a Luau where the girls would perform the dances they had learned for the week.

I wanted my GIRLS to have this wonderful opportunity...but we've had to make a lot of "sacrifices" lately.

So with money an obstacle...and the girls with their dad the night of the Luau I had decided not to do it!

But I had this NAGGING feeling to just...DO IT!

So we DID!

The girls came home so excited and couldn't wait to share all that they were learning!

And by Wednesday we discovered they would be at the Luau after all.

And that changed EVERYTHING!

We had SO much fun getting them ready to perform Friday night,

and being able to see the PURE joy on my girls faces...

well that was PRICELESS

and of course it made me CRY!

You know the feeling you get as a parent when you know you've done something really right for your kids?

Well I had that feeling...and I knew we had made the right choice.

And the performances?

Well they were AMAZING...check it out!

I LOVE being a Mom to these girls!

My girls are always FIRST in line for the food.

Rachel's dance number - back row on the left!

Katie's Dance (sorry she was behind the girl in front and I couldn't get a good view of her most of the time!)

They did this song for the FINALE and sang it beautifully so I had to post it!
