National American Miss - Day 2

We finished up Hayley's National American Miss pageant last night. She had such a wonderful time, and enjoyed some fun new friendships. Hayley came home with three ribbons in Most Recommendations, Casual Wear Modeling and Photogenic and two trophies for State Finalist and Best Thank You Note 1st Runner Up. She loved getting the trophies ... as any little girl would!

Overall, the entire experience was definitely worth it. It was amazing to watch Hayley grow in confidence and poise throughout the weekend, as well as interact with the other girls. The support of all of the girls for each other was amazing. She made some new little friends and gained experience to last a lifetime.

Here are a few more photos from the weekend. There are not many from the final show because mommy was busy with going to get her changed and chaperoning. Maybe I can get a few more from elsewhere to share!
