Creative Movement, Ballet, Tap, Children's DVD, Burlington, NC
The girls moved a little slow this morning... some even overslept...but I made sure to serenade them with "Good Morning"... that helped the sleepy dancers... so did me pulling their covers off! I had to resort to drastic measures while others just popped onto their feet. The morning classes were reviews of all three routines learned so far. The instructors conducted a mock evaluation so that the dancers knew what to expect. The girls asked me a hundred times what time it was and when was it time to go to lunch!
Lunch and dinner always consist of two main concerns... where we are going to sit and how creative you can pour your ice cream. This is very important at camp. We have nice cones that are perfect circles, then there is the tall blob, and then there is the straight sticks pilled on top of each other. Topics of conversation today at the table were how many pieces of pizza the girls have eaten, how many pounds of ice cream has been consumed, and if Miss Kim minds if they drink a soft drink. Again, these experiences help me learn each girl's personalities.
After dinner we had "A routine" evaluations where everyone earned a blue ribbon. I was so happy that everyone was excited and not too nervous. They all smiled and had a fabulous time. Grace charmed the judges with her smile over and over and over. I have to say I did have some tears watching these girls jump with happiness seeing their blue ribbons. They were just so proud.
Tonight at the big sis little sis meeting with their big sis Kath we talked about our tree. Our motto on our tree is "Be The Best You Can Be and Always Make Miss Kim Proud". The leaves are filled with each girl's individual goals and the roots are my goals for the year. UDA All Americans were announced and I am very proud to say that Bethani, Carly, Lillie W., Katherine, and Becky all made All American. They were presented with a metal and information about the parade that they can perform in.
I am being invited right now to the talent show so I must end quickly. The girls are squealing with laughter and I now I am in for a treat. I just thought to myself... memories are being made right now. They will think back when they are older about the best times of their lives... and I bet this will be at the top of their list. Today has been filled with hugs, tears, laughter, and so much more. These are what memories are made of.
