Still wishing we were still in Scotland!

So much fun… and the weather was fabulous! ☀️

Loved the training, the competitions, and the downtime when everyone could just hang out together. Lots of laughs and memories made!
I also loved catching up with friends from around the World.

We had so much fun celebrating Lilly’s birthday in Dunoon again this year. We celebrated with a Percy Pig themed party and Lilly received an album filled with special letters from all her friends. 🥳

Millie, Piper, Brianna, Samantha, and Alyssa all received their recent Championship win certificates from Christine Lacey.
Very special 💙💜💚🩵❤️

So proud of everyone!

The trip finished with Brianna 💚 and Samantha 🩵 both finishing in the top 10 in the Junior, and Adult World Highland Dancing Championships, respectively!

Millie 💙 had a great day at Birnam Highland Games to finish off her month long trip in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Looking forward to a new dance season starting September 12th.
