District 4-h show...

Nicole did a great job, they took 4th but she forgot to back-up in the pattern!!!

Luigi was being a brat and didn't want to stick the 270 so she worked so hard on it, she didn't get a chance to practice the whole pattern from start to finish and was so stressed out over the turn she lost her mind!

By the way, his 270 was perfect!

Everyone thought she would have won had she "actually did the entire pattern"! Her trainer who is a very negative person said she had it, I kid you not the rest was flawless. But when she got called for 4th we literally jumped up and down, usually, you blow the pattern your done!! There were kids and parents crying all over the place and we were extatic about getting 4th!

They look so great! I am happy she got fourth, I know Nicole was probably disappointed that she forgot to back up, but tell her it happens to everyone sometimes!

Yes, she was very disappointed but she took it in stride, just saying she knew it as soon as she started his turn but there's no going back. She wanted to kick herself. She actually felt good because it was there best performance together and she really felt like a team.
