Stage One Nationals

Ady's dance nationals this year were in Branson, Missouri so we made that our first road trip of the summer! 

We stayed in a big resort property that had an arcade, several pools and more.

First up was her duo!

We enjoyed Top of The Rock at the Big Cedar Lodge with Mimi and Grandpa who met us in Branson for the fun...

The bigs go-carted solo where Will rode with Derek and they all loved it!

The boys played some golf so I took the littles to mini golf!

Then it was back for our 3 group dances...

Time for lunch with buddies before an afternoon of swimming!

We ended the evening at Paula Deen's restaurant and it was DELICOUS!

Each kid got an evening in Mimi and Grandpa's spare room and they thought it was the most fun thing ever!

The last day of dances was for her ballroom dance which she just adores and it's so fun to watch. They actually got to perform it twice as it was invited back to the end show!

We ended the last evening at Mel's Hard Luck Diner where we thought 'one scoop' was one scoop. We had enough ice cream for a small village!
