Saturday was a busy day for us. In the morning I took Kaitlyn to get her split-sole jazz sneakers she needs for OU Pom try-outs in a couple of weeks. Everyone was out of her size so we had to order them from the lady at the dance shop where we used to get our skating dresses. Then there was the pom/cheer tryouts at the high school. The seniors get to dress up and help run the try-outs. Kaitlyn ran the music for the first half of pom, then she had to perform the band chant behind the judges in case a girl forgot what she was doing in the middle of her routine. This is a picture of the seniors that are left (both of the captains got kicked off/quit). The girl in the middle with the red shorts (Brooke) will be a senior next year and made captain of next years squad. The girl on the right end is Ariana. She also made the cut for OU pom tryouts.
Saturday night, I went to a wedding with Joe. Both the bride and groom used to work with him but they went to work in Tulsa for the new BOK arena when it opened over there. The wedding was in Shawnee, OK. We were sitting in almost the last row of the church.
I really, really wanted to go to the Medieval Faire this weekend (Fri-Sun) but I just couldn't get out there. The Medieval Faire probably is my most favorite event that Norman has each year. It's a living history fair and the characters you see are great. Lots of people dress up in medieval garb - they have beggars and pickpockets, mermaids, jesters, kings and queens. The fair is put on by the University and has been in existence as long as I've lived here (since 1981). I wanted to take some pictures to post here but Friday I got off work too late. Saturday was beautiful but so windy I couldn't have made it thru the day with a decent hairdo for all the activities I had to attend. Sunday was too darned cold and the wind made it feel like it was 30 degrees outside. I also missed Parent Weekend at OU for the first time at Kristen's sorority house since she's been in college. She had to work and didn't really want to go, so we ordered the t-shirts (pink this year) and I didn't go to that either. I've had a couple of weeks off from Kohls and have really enjoyed not working the extra hours. We'll see how long that holds out!
