Dancing cousins



When Markee and Tamsyn were itty bittys, about 3 years old, they danced. I would post pictures, but my scanner is not working - after I went through the albums and found the pictures, geez. They danced for a few years doing tap and ballet and jazz until both Jeff's family and our family moved way out west to Lehi and Eagle Mountain and the girls lost some interest.
When Markee started junior high she took dance classes again and loved them, but most especially the hip hop sections. So for her 14th birthday we gave her a year of hip hop lessons at a local studio. She was in heaven! This is the type of dance that she loves and does well. One year turned into two which will soon turn into three and, of course, she dragged her cousin into it with her. I don't think she had to "drag" very hard to get Tamsyn there. Their instructor, Lee Hadlock is fantastic and the girls love her. So, this year the recital was with both the cousins together again. Let's hear it for cousins!

We left the girls in the car after the recital to run in and get rootbeer float ingredients. Never leave girls in the car alone with a camera . . .







After the recital, we went back to our house for rootbeer floats and the girls still had the dancing fever. They made up their own dance and performed it for us.
