Catching Up - Part Tre: Mellow Weekend

After Aerosmith, we had yet another event - Alli's annual dance recital.  My mom was still in Nashville with Pawpaw, but my dad came up for the recital.  He drove up Saturday afternoon, meaning we Lowes had a Saturday morning to spend.  Because it was sunny and cool, we decided to hit the Fayetteville Farmers Market.  Alli had her very first taste of a peach, which she loved.  We also bought some flowers, a candle, and some soap.

We followed up with brunch at Emelia's and driving around downtown - one of our favorite activities.  Or mine anyway.  I just have a patient husband and a daughter who is easily entertained with an iPad.

Later that afternoon, Daddy came in and it was time for the dance recital.  This year Alli took a cheerleading class, so her recital outfit was even cuter than usual.

We had a great evening - both of Alli's routines were wonderful, and we followed up with dinner at US Pizza.

Sunday morning, Daddy headed out early and we decided to hit up our favorite pool around - the Springdale Aquatic Center.  Alli actually jumped off the high dive and did all of the slides.  It was amazing!! 

We do so love the summertime.  

Evacuate the Dance Floor...

...because my baby is owning it!!!  I'm going to get a little stage mama on you here, so get over it.  Al Breezy takes dance class once a week.  It's a combo ballet/tap class (the only one they offered for her age, trust me.  I wanted hip hop).  She gripes about it every week, but she always has a great time.

So anyway, she got her recital outfits this week.  She's the only girl in the class of 7 that got a pink outfit.  And no, I didn't bribe the teacher.  Or threaten her.  It just really happened.  I promise.
