Beginning at 6:30 AM Thursday morning we were at the Lavell Edwards Stadium.
The girls practiced and practiced and practiced some more. We mom's fed them cut up fruit, and other small bite foods. We kept them hydrated.
We got a lunch break at 11"45 AM and then had to be back by 1:15 PM.
That was the worst time to practice!
It reached 115 degrees inside the stadium. Hard as we tried we couldn't keep the girls hydrated. We had 5 who began to get heat exhaustion. They ended up at the first aid station. They were told not to practice after dinner but to come watch and then practice the next morning. Mini-Me was one of them. She, like her momma, doesn't do well with extended periods of direct sunlight and high temperatures.
She recovered well and was able to dance the next morning and perform Friday night.
Here's a little video of the practice parts. Anything that was video taped was not allowed and does not exist.
