Fancy Feet

It's that time of year again! Clogging is back in swing, and our fall schedule feels "normal" again with practices under way. McKenna is very excited about the new season and the opportunity for growth that has come with it. McKenna had a tough decision to make at the end of the season last year. She had been Clogging at a smaller studio with not a whole lot of room for growth within herself, yet LOVED her coach, Jeff and the girls she danced with. As many of you know, aside from her obsession with horses, Clogging is a HUGE part of McKenna's life. She would tell you herself; "someday I want to be on the BYU folk dance team". Needless to say, after a lot of thought, she decided she was up for the challenge and wanted to take the plunge. She will now be dancing with Idaho Rhythm, in Nampa. She met with the director over the summer and feels very comfortable with team she will be clogging with - Sensation!

So with all this, I knew McKenna had been needing a new pair of clogs. Her feet have grown so fast, we've had to get a new pair the past several seasons. She had to CRAM her feet into her shoes this week for practice, and then stated on the drive home, she thought she might need a new pair. They're not the cheapest shoes around however. My hope is maybe her feet will stop growing and she can wear this new pair a couple seasons. :) So nonetheless, I had already ordered the shoes and didn't tell Miss McKenna they were on the way....

She had no idea what was in the box, other than I told her something came in the mail for her. She was actually quite perplexed when she saw a box addressed to her.

She was soooo excited when she discovered what was in the box. CLOGS! She let out a SQUEAL and danced around the kitchen!

When it comes to clogging, a "new" pair of clogs, is simply the BEST gift ever!

She had to immediately try them on of course, and head out to the practice floor we've made in the garage to try them out!

I was glad to capture the moment of such a wonderful thing in the life of a little girl. We're so excited for her this year, and know that nothing will hold her back from clogging her heart out. Good Luck Magoo!
