May Madness, Part 2: Everything Else

The madness continues...

Spring Soccer

Alyssa was the only one to play this season. (Courtney was signed up to play but had to withdraw right before the season started because she sprained her arm. Hey - it's been awhile...)

Alyssa loves soccer and has played every season (Spring and Fall) since she was four!

They still try to rotate the girls thru all of the positions, so here's Alyssa taking a turn at goalie.

On the move...

Picking Strawberries

We had a hard time coordinating everyone's schedules this year, and it almost didn't happen. So glad it did!

Here are Joanna and Courtney among the berries (and weeds!) It was pretty late in the season, so maybe they just let things go!?

Courtney (the strawberry eater) and Melanie (the strawbery picker)

And here's the teenager - a strawberry in each hand and earphones in his ears. Not sure anything ever made it into the basket, and there's a rumor circulating that he only comes for the food.

(a.k.a. the girls' dance recital)

...and her tap dance

Alyssa performing her lyrical dance

This year, Alyssa moved up to the performing company. For the rest of the year, that meant a longer class during the week, a competition, and a few extra performances. For recital, it meant an extra nite of rehearsal, more dance numbers (and costumes!), and performing in all three shows (instead of just one).

And now her tap dance...

...and then ballet (she's right in the middle)

May Madness is almost over... almost.
