6/12/11: Lauren's 1st Baton Show!

Lauren had her 1st Baton Show today.  Mommy used to twirl for many years so she was very excited about this.  Here is Lauren all ready to go.

Practicing her routine.

 Lauren with here teacher Maureen Dunn (who judged Mommy in competitions when she was a kid).

 Her partner is the teacher's granddaughter so they got special treatment and got to peak in to the audience from back stage. 

 Me and Lauren on the stage.

 The two little ones ready to go on stage.

 Well unfortunately the other little girl didn't make it on to the stage so Lauren performed with an older girl to help her with her partner parts of her routine.  The song was "Happy Birthday Princess" which is why there is a birthday cake on stae.

 Lauren did great despite not having her partner.

 Her with her fill in partner (the other girl's cousin).

Here is some video.

Lauren was very excited to get a trophy!  Her first Baton Trophy.

And here are Lauren's Formal Baton Pictures.
