First there were some soft shoe reels and jigs.
A quick shoe change and it was time for the hard shoe dances.
Here are Addy’s people who came out to watch this time around.
The first day of Feis At the Falls was in the books for our crew. Sunday would be another morning filled with dancing.
We all drove to a great Mexican spot, Birriería El Sazón Spokane on Sprague in Spokane Valley for our lunch. Addy was the most famished of all of us after all her nonstop dancing and shoe changes! We highly recommend this spot but beware…the portions are huge!
Back at the hotel there was an afternoon of swimming before the crew landed in our room for Charcuterie that Dan and Jamie hauled to Spokane in their trusty cooler. It was quite a spread that we all enjoyed including home made pickles, sourdough and summer sausage!
The orange watermelon from a friend’s farm was so delicious!
We had a nice large corner room in the hotel so it was comfortable to gather and enjoy each others company before we called it a night. An early night since our little dancer would be on stage bright and early on Sunday.
Since our hotel room only had 3 chairs available both Josh and Dan rolled the office chairs from their rooms to our room for our gathering. Josh and Laura were 9 floors up from us and Dan and Jamie were 5 floors up from us so they made quite a sight rolling their chairs and the cooler down the elevators and down the hall to our room!
The littles decided they would ride on their way back to their rooms.
Uncle is always ready to accommodate these two.
…family fun, dancing and good food. What a wonderful combination.
She is amazing, and what a great family time.
Lots of fun in your corner and some very proud parents and grandparents I bet. I do love Irish dancing. B x
So cute! And a great looking celebration in the room!
Well done those girls but especially your granddaughter! It looks like such a wonderful day! Fab photos!
Wow that is pretty amazing. Takes a lot of practice!!! What a wonderful event.
How much fun you all had. I had to just smile. It pleases me to see this.
What a beautiful memory! Huge congratulations to your granddaughter on winning so many medals – that Irish dancing talent is incredible. There is truly nothing better than a cozy room-service dinner to wrap up a perfect, victorious evening!
Your description of the hard shoe dances followed by a stop at Birriería El Sazón Spokane made me smile, those huge portions are legendary. I can picture Addy refueling after nonstop dancing and shoe changes. A quick swim after such a high‑impact session is a clever way to loosen the hips and lower back, so the next day’s steps feel easier. The orange watermelon from the farm sounds like a perfect, refreshing finish to the charcuterie spread. It sounds like a wonderful weekend of music, food and good company.
Since I am catching up, I am reading backwards . . . but it must have been such a delightful weekend!
