Time sure flies by. I feel like the kids just went back to school, yet it’s the first of February tomorrow. Crazy! My daughter danced today during the intermission at the Oil Kings hockey game today. She (well, all of them) did really well. Especially considering that they only had two classes to learn their dance! Today’s game was a charity game, benefiting breast cancer. They call it “pink in the rink”. We all wore pink shirts to the game. Actually, the entire team wore pink jerseys! The stage that they danced on was kind of strangely situated. It was on the “fans” side, not on the ice. I thought that they’d probably have some sort of stage that they push onto the ice for intermission and then move for the game. But, instead, they weren’t on the ice at all and they faced towards the ice – or glass barrier in front of them. Fortunately all of our seats were right in the area beside where the stage was set up. My daughter was so nervous about being in front of so many people, but once she saw the set up, I think it helped her feel a bit more comfortable. It was probably easier for the dancers, but not so much for the audience (basically friends and family of the dancers on either side of the stage). They were recording the whole time and showing the dancing on the jumbo-tron, so lots of people were watching, they just weren’t right in front of the stage. I’m actually not trying to be overly negative about it, because they had lots of fun. They were given an excellent opportunity to practice dancing with a lot of people watching. The more often they step on stage to perform in front of people, the more comfortable they’ll get performing (does that make sense??) It was exciting for her to be going on a stage to dance in such a big arena. The same arena where she’s watched concerts, like Katy Perry. We had a good day. My face wasn’t overly bad while we were there, yay face! We got to spend a fun afternoon out actually doing something as a family. Well, plus a couple friends and grandparents (oh, grandparents are family…duh!) All in all, t was just a pretty good day. I just love to watch my daughter dancing. No complaints from me tonight. And…I’m off to bed. 

Oh yah, in-case anyone was wondering, the Oil Kings kicked butt and won he game, 6 vs 2!!!
