Two things should be obvious from these photos- First, that Becky and I like to bombard the stage and be in pictures with our friends, who we wish we could have spent the day competing with. :) Second, that the contestants haven’t yet uploaded their fun backstage shots to Facebook for me to steal and post here! Don’t worry ladies, I only post what meets my standards as appropriate and flattering.

Finally, for some annoying reason the two photos below wouldn't enlarge when included in the posts with any text, so they get a special place on my blog all by themselves... Click on it below to enlarge!
