Cause this is Thriller..Thriller Night....

Last night, Shelby had the opportunity to dance in the pre-show for Odyssey Dance Theater's THRILLER at Tuacahn. She's been SOOOO excited! My friend Jana's daughter made it too, so we decided to make it a girls night out and go down together. (Jana's sister Jayne went with us, but she was taking the pictures so you don't get to see her beautiful face!)
Me and my baby girl!
Shelby and Kinley. Kinley says Shelby's her best 3rd grade friend. I just have to say that I LOVE KINLEY! She is such an amazing role model for Shelby. She's sweet, smart, funny, talented and just an all around great girl! I don't think I could have hand picked someone better for Shelby to look up to.
This is Shelby's face when.....
this lady got in her face. HAHAHAHA!!! She was so scared she couldn't even scream!
These zombies have ZERO respect for personal space. As we were leaving, Shelby walked by a zombie that was perched on a concrete column. As we passed, she jumped off it and HISSED in Shelby's face. Shelby FLIPPED!!! OUT!!! She tried to run away but this lady chased her. Poor Shelby was SCREAMING and CRYING and trying to climb up on me to get away from her. I swear it must have looked like a dog treeing an animal. Poor girl was TERRIFIED! It was great! (Ya I know, I'm a mean mom) I was laughing WAY too hard to help her! The zombies kept picking on her cause she was SO scared and would scream bloody murder every time they approached her.

Shelby is the one in the front row on the left. Only 5 of them from her team were invited to perform and they haven't learned all of their lyrical quite yet.



She's the one in the middle row on the right side. This was her tryout dance for company, except it was to a different song. I think these little girls adapted AMAZINGLY well considering they had never done this dance to this particular song until an hour before showtime!!! Way to roll with the punches Shelber!!!



Here's a promo for the show.. It was AWESOME!!


We'll definitely be going back again next year, whether the girls are dancing or not. More than anything it was really fun to get some time with Shelby! I love that girl!!
