Milwaukee Spring Feis review

I know I haven't posted in forever, and I'm planning on doing some catch-up stuff in a while-

This last weekend we drove to Milwaukee for the first feis of the season. We got there super early to grab a camping spot, and the twins started dancing right away. I did my set pretty early...then both Selena and I had a lot of waiting around. Everyone did well for the first feis since last fall- Isabel got 3rd in Slip Jig but the rest of her dances were with very big groups- she's in Prizewinner now for everything except Jig and Slip Jig. Miranda got 2nd in Treble Jig (our hard work paid off...Selena & I 'coach' the twins mostly every day), 3rd in Hornpipe, 4th in Slip Jig, & 5th in Reel. Sese did very well in her PC competition, she got 4th overall and 2nd in Hardshoe- nothing in Set, but there was only 3 placements for that...

I won my set, but there weren't very many people for that. I know, you say "still that's pretty good!!" I suppose I'm just being dumb...for my PC competition I got 8th out of 24, which I wasn't extremely happy about...because at Oireachtas, I basically beat everyone I competed against yesterday. And that didn't happen again. MORE PRACTICE!! I know it was still good I placed...and it was only the first feis of the season, and I haven't had that much time to get a lot of style into the *really hard* steps I got in January. Anyway it was a pretty good day! We got home at about 11:00 last night. ZzzzzZZzzZZZ. The picture is from when we stopped in Wisconsin Dells yesterday and were just strolling around, not aware of our surroundings. :O ;)

I'll be putting up a 'What I've been doing the last month' post pretty soon! :) (Oh and my dad has more pictures from the feis on his blog.)
