Well, Shyla and I were off to dance again on Friday. This time it was in Scarborough. We were lucky that she got to perform all four of her dances in one day. This competition is marked hard and there were many more studios. Unfortunately, they just give your your placement in your group, 1st, 2nd, 3rd but you don't get to know what mark you received (silver, gold, platium etc) unless you scored at 93 or higher from both judges, then you received a special saphire award. Shyla's jazz group placed 1st but were the only group in their category. Shyla's tap received a 1st (the only group again) but received a saphire award and scored overall novice small group. Her acro duet scored a first (only one in category). Her solo was an experience. Unfortatley she watched the girl that was against her that went first. She was very good and shyla got very nervous when she performed. Shyla actually missed a small piece of her routine. Not that anyone noticed but her and the fact there was a bit a music left at the end of her routine (i am not sure that the judges knew). she was devastated. Big crocodile tears afterwards. I guess she did so well last weekend, she expected to do the same this time. Life lessons are hard. We hugged and told her that people make mistakes and hers wasn't that big. She ended up still scoring first in her catagory out of three (they were all good). I have no idea how she ended up overall. My heart went out to her though.
On saturday, ryley started his 4 on 4 hockey. He got about 60 shots and loved every minute of it. His team ended up winning 7-6 with a shootout. then we were off to another arena for two fun exibition games against peterborough. we tied the first one 0 -0 and won the second 5-3. then pizza for all. We then went to watch a friend of ours dance in a different competition in ajax. She belonged to the adult group Grease. It was really good.
On sunday, shyla sang in the junior choir at church and then we had a nice day outdoors where it was beautiful.
