At the Marriot Hotel
Uno's!!
At the feis
Waking up on Sunday morning
We just got back from the Badger State feis in Milwaukee. We drove down on Friday, swam, went to Uno's for supper and registered. Next morning we woke up early and went to the feis. It was in an ice arena! It wasn't the greatest venue but okay.We had a great time, I didn't place but there were huge groups for Prizewinner U11. Split ones were up to 23 dancers! My friends in my group hardly placed at all. But all the sisters who are in not as hard of a level placed pretty well, Selena got 1st in Slip Jig, 1st in Jig, and 4th in Hornpipe, Isabel got 3rd in Reel, 1st in Jig, 1st in Slip Jig, and 3rd in Hornpipe, and Miranda got 1st in Reel, 4th in Slip jig, and 1st in Hornpipe. This was Isabel and Miranda's first time performing their hornpipe (hardshoe) and we were very happy they placed so well in it.
After the feis we ate at KT (Kwik Trip) and went back to LaCrosse. On Sunday we went to church with my Grandparents, and after lunch all of us girls went to the pool. Late afternoon we went home. Phew! It was a good trip. And we're leaving home again on Friday (maybe Friday. or else sat.) Stay tuned for the Nordic Fest trip report!!!

Isabel and Miranda must be very happy!!! Selena is the Slip Jig champion! You must be dispointed about not placing especially since you needed two more dances to go to Oireachtas. Do you have another feis coming up before Oireachtas?
Sonja, love your Blogg Sounds like a good time in Wisconsin....Keep up the good work... There is a poem Called Keep a-Going by Frank Stanton that I read to Grandpa when he was feeling a bit down. I'll show it to you when you come down. Or google it in. Love the picture of you all walking with your suitcases. Miranda has quite a stride. Gram S.
