Gold Coast State Finals!

Last weekend we decided to go to Gold Coast's State Pageant as a last minute decision. We wanted to go and root for my niece Sofia who was competing for the Little Miss California title and was also competing in all the modeling as well. Lexi did this last year, see here and here and we know first hand what a big deal this is and how much work it was to get ready for all the competitions so we were excitied to go and cheer Sofia on. It was a lot of fun to see our Gold Coast Family and Friends...It's a pageant reunion every time I go...and it's fun to go and be with all these people who are just as crazy as you are about the pageant world...it's like our own little secret club ;)

Oh and since we were going to the pageant but it was last minute, I asked Lexi if she wanted to do the Talent Competition since she qualified back here and she was excited to do her Bumble Bee routine again...
