One of McKenna's summer highlights was participating in 4-H. With all of her neighborhood girlfriends, Kenna learned the basics of cooking and sewing. She even got to make a pair of fleece pajama pants. I was especially thankful that McKenna got this experience since I cannot teach her any sewing skills myself.
Her 4-H group (The 7 uppers) was pretty ecstatic when they found out that they could participate in a modeling competition to display their sewing creations. They each got to meet with a modeling instructor to learn how to walk, turn, and pose on a runway. McKenna loved every second of it! My boys even had their own Zoolander moment. We set up a mock runway made of tape in our family room, and the boys had a great time trying to out-nerd each other down the runway. Even Ashton had the walk down!
The morning before the competition, Kenna got a little extra help... sometimes it comes in very handy to be related to a former pageant queen! Yes, Aunt Brooke gave Kenna some great tips on how to properly turn and how to release her inner sparkle! Kenna could hardly wait to get out there and strut her stuff!
The competition was very small--just a handful of girls--but to Kenna, it was big stuff! When her moment came, I have to say, I was proud of my cute girl! She was comfortable up there, had fun--and it showed! She even winked at the judges as she exited!!
In the end, she won first place!
She's excited to participate in the State Fair modeling competition in September!
