Clogging aka Power Tap

This weekend I took my family to Utah for a clogging competition.  My oldest daughter just started clogging, which is also known as power tap in January.  She has really enjoyed it so far.  From what I understand clogging is limited to mostly Idaho and Utah.  If you saw the show America's Got Talent in 2009, my daughters teacher was in the group the Fab Five.  I had never really experienced clogging until this weekend. 
My wife used to teach dance but she didn't clogg.  To me, having a very untrained dance eye, clogging looks very similar to tap.  I am sure if I asked a clogger what the differences are they would be able to talk my ear off about it.

Previously I posted about my middle child participating on the local swim team.  As with swimming clogging involves sitting for hours to see your child perform for maybe 10 minutes.  YEEEEE HAAAAWWWW.  Fortunately my daughter wasn't on the competition team, because she is so new, but I can feel that day fast approaching.  I started to wonder why I put myself through this?  Why do I subject myself to things I don't really like?  The answer was simple, I love my girls.  It's really that simple.  If you love someone you are willing to submit yourself to less than ideal situations to show them you care.  We really only have our kids in our homes for a very short amount of time, and we need to make the most of it.  If that means suffering through dance competitions so be it.  There are really so many worse things to suffer through, overall I am lucky. 
That is all.
