Nationals Slide Show

We're Back!!

OK! It's been a week today since the Elites made the trip back from California! WOW! Ya it has taken me this long to find the time to sit and Blog! The Elites Did So Awesome at Nationals It was their best performance yet (they did just as good at the Drill Team Show last Wednesday) They were full of energy and confidence, many of them commented that they weren't even nervous! I was so proud of them, it was well worth the trip! On our play time we swam at the motel, they played games in one of the rooms (16 plus kids) in the dark!! We went to Venice Beach were they swam in the Ocean, buried each other in the sand (got sand it places they didn't know the had!), shopped (they bought fun glasses and hats), watched acrobats, mimes, dancers and very strange people, and tried to eat while keeping the seagulls from stealing our food!! Then we drove to Hollywood Boulevard and walked the walk of fame and seen the "Stars" in the cement of famous people, got our pictures taken with characters, and shopped some more!!! We went and seen L.A Live across from the Staples Center were the L.A Lakers play. We got lost a few times driving in L.A., got honked at a few hundred times! But we laughed soooo much!!! It was a great experience and all in all I think we all had a great time! Calling all Elites and Chaperons please email me 5 of your favorite pictures of the trip and I will add to the slide show (bunnells@etv.net).

Dazzlers- Competition Hair

Part Hair in half from tops of ears. Pull top half in a pony while you french braid bottom half around to the right side and put elastic around.

Braid top half around and secure with elastic. Grab both ponies and make one pony. Don't pull hair all the way through to make your messy bun. If hair is to short just pull strands in different directions and hair spray to look messy. If long enough you can pull hair around and make a messy bun.

Place bow on top of bun and wrap around so it is secure. If needed add bobbie pins. Hair spray well.

I am a horrible french braider so if I can do it anyone can!!! :0) *\0/*
