Tuacahn

Courtney danced at Tuacahn tonight and it was FREEZING!! Seriously, it was only 30 degrees and the girl was in tights and a tutu.

Her first performance was at 6:30 and it wasn't too bad at that time. They only had 2 dances to do and the performance was only about 20 minutes long. We were prepared with rice bags warmed in the microwave, blankets and coats. She did pretty well waiting and keeping herself warm.

We then went to the live Nativity at Tuacahn. That was fun. We have been before but it's always a great experience.

Then we went back to her second performance and it was REALLY cold! It was actually snowing a bit so that made it worse. They had the girls wait inside the building before they went to the outdoor stage and that helped, but Courtney was still shivering pretty badly! Between dances they went back in the building but the second dance was almost too much. Her little legs were shaking and she was cold.

Bryan bundled her up and carried her to the car. It's taken a while to warm her up but I think the hot chocolate and the cookie her primary teacher gave her at Tuacahn helped (her teacher works there at the concessions stand).
