SWEET! (corn festival!)

YEAH! Evie was asked to do a martial arts demonstration today for the Urbana Sweet Corn Festival!



I am very proud of her! I took a video of the entire program.. check back, I may or may not upload it to YouTube and put it on the blog, it's 25 minutes or so long, though. She did a fantastic job! She is the only one that is not wearing her uniform jacket, so you'll see her with the red Newberry Academy t-shirt. It was so hot, (97 degrees) and we weren't told (well, at least I wasn't) that she had to wear full uniform, so I had her wear her summer program shirt which she wears to class. I felt kinda bad that she was the ONLY one not in full dress, but you know.. I'm kinda glad! I could find my girl easily and she wasn't as boiling hot as the rest! There were only two Tiny Tigers selected to represent the group so it was aweome that Evie and her friend, Anju, got to be up center stage in front of the crowd!

Congrats Evie!!

(And thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Hoctor, Hope and family and Kacee and family for attending!)

Here are Evie and John Michael walking and eating together discussing the music that was on the other stage as we were walking by.. they thought it was "terrible" LOL
I think John Michael's word was "Yuck!"




On the way home, we saw a group of girls doing a fundraising car wash and Evie and I thought it would be fun to let them wash the van.. Evie said that she would like to "try to help".. the girls loved her! And the van is shiny!
