Twas the Day & Night before the BIG Competition

Well the day started out with an 8:00 am wake up call... we were just a little slow on the move and we were a little late for breakfast but after a good breakfast we headed to the downtown area once again to "Hop On and Off " the Dublin tour bus. It was a lot of fun seeing all the historical sights.
After the tour we headed straight back to the hotel to be ready to meet Nora for a last minute practice for the "Big Day". We found out tonight that the girls are dancing on the Big Stage, the same one that was used for during Worlds last year. The girls ran through their steps together and with Nora's supervision.
We got the program for the event and the girls have 128 dancers in their group. Jadyn starts off in the first round in her Treble Jig and Caitlin isn't far behind in the third round. So it will be a quick and fast start to the day and a great way to get any little bits of excitement out.
Well we hope you can join us tomorrow and follow the blog with some updates and hopefully some great news.
Good night from Dublin... and thank you all for all the wonderful and supportive comments; the girls have been very excited to read them all.
