dancin' queen

today Katie had 2 fabulous performances at the Princeton Alumni Banquet, complete with costume change! Kelsie was still here, so went along as our guest. I was proud as ever, taking a good spot to video tape since Kevin was trying to get some sleep (he picked up an extra day for the holiday week.)
I had never been to an alumni dinner before, I didn't even know it was an annual event (this was the 27th). I parked & hiked, figuring the good places would be gone. Princeton school has changed 100% since I went there, all new buildings, a new football field, & the parking is somewhat better, but there is never enough good parking. There were a lot of empty spots at the tables, & most of the alumni was rather elderly....they asked for graduates to raise hands when they called your year...there were just a handful for the 80s & 90s. Lucy Hall was there, she is 99. Class of 1927. Kim Hertzog told us to eat for free after the kids danced (1 mom/instructor, 1 mom/fan club, 3 mega talented dancing kids.) The food was good. Of course the meal featured pork loin...every major meal in Mercer County seems to these days.
Katie starts her new dance class tomorrow nite---just jazz this go-round. She has 1 friend joining her, & another who might.
She & Zane will tap dance at the Mercer County Fair Talent Show July 17th. I think she's on break till then.
This weekend wore me out. Trying to get her ready with friends here when she has much more interesting, important things to do...hurrying up to get there, then waiting, lugging around the bag of clothes, fighting for my taping spot...
Kelsie kept asking to go swimming, I kept telling her I was too tired. She kept giving me that look.
