My daughter (and wife) are in Florida this weekend competing in her first National dance competition at the ESPN center(she's a freshman, and captain of her squad).

They have the bare minimum of girls available to compete at this level, and just took first place in the nation!

So happy for her to have all that hard work payoff. They have been on six to seven day workouts for all of the last school year, spending countless hours (and $) to prepare. Girl leaves for school before I leave for work and doesn't get home until well after I do! She also suffers scoliosis which is not that conducive to balanced dance moves like this and has really overcome some complicated obstacles.

Can't wait til her and my wife get back next week.:banana:

Yes, we are all scoundrels until we take a wife and build a family. Then we are respectable and legitimate.

Your wife and daughter are both adorable, Tickdoc. You are a lucky man.

Where's that video? :)

Thanks everyone, really.

I'm working on it ( the video) may have to post to YouTube, as photobucket won't load it.

Such amazing synchronized precision! (And they're just kids...!) It's easy to see why they won. Well deserved congratulations to you and your girls.

Thanks again guys. Personally, I miss when she was a soccer player, because that was my sport, but she loves this dance stuff, and I love seeing her have a passion for it.

Scholarship opportunities are there for her too, which is always a bonus.

Can't wait for them to come home!
