Appalachian Trail Days has begun in Damascus, Va and each year they have a Miss Trails Days pageant for girls from birth up to age 18.  This year Madison decided that she wanted to participate and so her Mommy purchased her a beautiful blue dress (to match her eyes) and she practiced waving and smiling and blowing kisses for weeks.  When she got on stage however, her shyness kicked in, but it didn’t keep her from placing 1st runner-up in her age group.

As a proud GranGran I took several pictures but because of the lighting and the camera zoom didn’t work very well, so I got the best pictures afterwards.  The first was on stage and the second was taken outside and I have to say she is so adoreable.  I’m proud of any and everything Madison and Olivia do in life.  Love ya sweety!!!
