Junior Tour Part 2

Morgan and Angelica finishing up at the 9th hole

Morgan had her 2nd Junior Tour tournament yesterday at Riverlands Country Club and she did really well again! She shot a 61 and was very pleased with her 4th place finish. She was only 2 shots off making 3rd place, so maybe next time! She played with Angelica, whose birthday, as we found out, is a day after Morgan's. Angelica and her 5 brothers and sisters have all been playing golf since they were four and there are 4 or 5 of them playing in the Junior Tour. She was very sweet and gave Morgan a few pointers and she even came in 1st for yesterday's tournament. We have the next one in two weeks, so I'm sure we'll be practicing in the meantime. I think we've played golf every weekend for about a month!

Junior Tour

The Fore!Kids Foundation has a Junior Tour every summer for kids aged 9-22. It introduces them to tournament play and Morgan wanted to join in on the fun. She played 9 holes at Abita Springs Golf Club this morning and shot a 65. She did a great job and can't wait for next week's tournament at Riverlands.

Congrats Mallory!!!

Just found out today that Mallory was offered a job to teach Middle School English at St. Benilde School, which by the way, is where she, Morgan, Kirk and I all went to school at one time or another. She actually went from Kindergarten to 8th grade there. Yeah, Mallory!!!!

Dance Recital

Morgan and Ms. Debra

It was that time again...time for the yearly dance recital! Since we live on the Northshore and Morgan goes to school on this side, we said goodbye to Dance Co. Ltd. and moved over to Golden Girl Dance Studio, which was very convenient. It's a VERY small dancing school with only 2 or 3 classes and I have to say this was the easiest recital I've ever been through. It lasted all of 45 minutes and was not hectic at all. Thanks to Ms. Debra for a great year and congrats to Morgan on her 7th year of dancing!!!

Morgan's Rite of Passage

Since Morgan finished 3rd grade, she will now be headed to big, bad Middle School! Her school held a Rite of Passage ceremony, which is very similar to a graduation. Morgan was so nervous though that she threw up when she got to school. They almost didn't let her participate, but we convinced the principal it was nerves and she let her "graduate" with the rest of the class.
