South Padre Island and The Black Eyed Peas

This past weekend we took a trip down to South Padre Island for Ariana's final Dance Competition on the Pee-Wee Team. Since the competition happened to fall on the same weekend of our annual spring break trip to Port Aransas we decided to turn it into our Mini-spring break Vacation. We had such a great time there. Definitely a good place to get a away for a while. Our Condo was right on the beach so the view of the beach was Beautiful. Ariana just loved it, didn't want to leave the place, lol.....Ariana did such an AWESOME job on her routines, she remembered the steps and really got into the dances. On Saturday April 24th she will have a dance recital at the El Campo High School Auditorium...so please feel free to come out and watch her. I will post times as soon as i find out for sure, but i'm thinking it will be at 7:00 p.m. Ariana has also started Cheer and Tumbling classes this month, she has never taken any gymnastics before so she truly is a beginner at it all, but she has been asking me to put her in that class for the longest time, so her wish has been granted, LOL...

On Thursday we went to the Houston Rodeo. Ariana had a great time at Kids Country.(special section they have for the kids) She saw a Magic Show, got to pet some animals and enjoyed all the rides. but she was so anxious to Watch the Black Eyed Peas in Concert and kept asking, is it time yet? LOL...we then headed into the Reliant Arena and got to catch some bullriding, Chuck Wagon horse races, Calf Scramble, Barrel Racing and Mutton Bustin (which is something new and so CUTE to watch, 5 and 6 year olds ride a very small sheep and whoever can stay on it the longest wins) After all that was done Black Eyed Peas finally took the stage and OMG it was AWESOME, they rocked that stage. I figured that Ariana would want to be standing up dancing the whole time (like me, lol), since she usually does to most of their songs, but I think she was kind of in shock about seeing them perform live (I don't know what she was expecting, lol) and just wanted to stay seated but she had a smile on her face. She usually complains about people being too loud when they are around her and with 70,000 screaming fans you can imagine how loud it was in there...she never complained once..... It was her first concert, but the ONE song she couldn't wait to hear was BOOM BOOM POW, because her dance team does perform their all team dance to it.

After a 5 day trip to South Padre , work, and a day at the Rodeo I feel exhausted, LOL...I need some REST!!!! Until next time ;-) Enjoy the pictures!!!!
