Ireland 2011, Day 5, April 16

April 16 was the day before Maddie competed. We stayed around the hotel so she could practice, rest, and get to bed early.

Maddie practiced with some friends from the Southern Region of the US. Sharon, Erin, and Miya.

The Convention Center is ready for the thousands of Irish dancers who will begin competing on April 17!

Dinner at the hotel's restaurant with Brian's parents and the girls' teacher, Heather. All three of them arrived in Dublin today.
