Friday night was Katherine's dance recital. She did one dance (tap) and then the finale with the other dancers. She did really great. I can see a big improvement from her recital a year ago. Katherine is the last one on the right.
Thursday night was the dress rehearsal for Katherine's dance recital. We were at Century II, just getting all of the kids on the stage to practice the finale (we practiced it first) when the tornado sirens went off. We filled down 3 flights of concrete stairs into the basement. The kids were a little bored waiting, but I knew that it was a good place to be in a tornado. I don't think we would have even heard a tornado going over us.
Once it was clear, we continued with the rehearsal.
I took some pictures of us while in the basement.
On May 22, was Katherine's end of year school program. The kids sang some songs and did some dancing. Katherine stood at the mic and gave the welcome to everyone.
At the end of the program, the kids were given certificates. We were a bit surprised to see Katherine get a certificate for Kindergarten. Her teacher said that we will talk this summer about whether Katherine starts 1st grade in August or if she will start a full year of Kindergarten.
Here she is with her teacher, Miss Weeks. She owns and runs ECAP Academy. She is one of the developers of the program.
Katherine received her third year Cubbie award. It's supposed to be a 2-year program, but she started it when she was only 2.
ECAP Academy (Katherine's school) had a pool party to celebrate the end of school. Joey & Katherine had a blast playing for several hours.

They also had a moon walk for the kids to play in.

We took the kids to the River Festival to see Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The cast let us take pictures with them after the show.
Joey begged to ride in the cars, but starting crying as soon as we put in him. He cried through the entire ride.
We had a fun Mother's Day. We spent most of the day at my (Angie) mom's house. We did some fishing and playing Wii.
Katherine posed for the camera while playing on the dock.
