The past two weeks the girls have been going to the Avery Coonley summer camp near us. I have been pretty impressed with this camp and the girls have seemed to really like it.
They had a "talent show" on Thursday last week for the younger kids. This was really just a way for kids to get exposed to performing in front of an audience and not really a talent show per se. The kids put together their own numbers and were free to do just about anything. Most numbers were less than 30 seconds long. One kid did some Tae Kwon Do moves, another kid acted like a cat, and another girl tried singing but was too nervous. I was really surprised when both girls said they were going to do something for the talent show. I flashback to the shows from daycare where the girls cried through their performances. But, they both got up and did the performance and seemed to really enjoy doing it. Avery did a dance number with two of her new friends from camp, Emily and Ayla. It's basically the same little routine over and over a lot of times until the song ended. And part of the little routine was to run all the way to the outskirts of the gym, so a lot of my video is the center of the gym with no one in it. Ha! Morgan and her friend Eloise did a gymnastics routine. I missed the first few seconds where they ran together and did some cartwheels, so her video is pretty short (as was her entire routine). I was very proud of the girls for getting up there and performing. I know at their age, I would not have done that!
Then, on Friday, the Art and Music class the girls were in had a small concert so we could see what they have been up to during camp. Ruth joined me. The songs they did were so cute! We got to take home a bunch of their artwork from the camp and they did some really interesting things.
Just a little portion of one of the songs about family trees.
