Loras camp

The girls had a blast at Loras all sports camp this past week! They were busy from morning until bedtime with sports and fun activities. Like they literally left their rooms after breakfast and didn't get back to the dorms until time to get ready for bed. We didn't get to talk to them all week, but the camp posted pictures on Facebook so I at least knew they were alive! Avery roomed with Maebel. Morgan roomed with Katherine. Quite a few other kids they knew from school were at the camp the same week as them. Avery majored in Gymnastics and minored in tennis and aerial silks. Morgan majored in tennis and minored in ice skating and volleyball.

Nightly team building activities

Seems like she had fun! :)

Avery was in a different huddle

Morgan majored in tennis

Avery majored in gymnastics - this was the only picture I got of her doing her major

They had a dance party one of the nights

This was probably their favorite night

On Thursday, they got their paddles and the brand they earned during the week

Avery got love (heart) and Morgan got dedication (looks like Olympic rings)

We went up for the Olympics on the last day

So many kids!!!

They were ready for some air conditioning! :)

Avery's huddle group

I'm so glad (and relieved) they did so well being away from home for a week without being able to talk to us. I was worried about leaving them, especially because it was so hot and they were staying in a dorm with no air conditioning. And they have not stayed away from home longer than a night or two before. They are already looking forward to going next year!

Highlights!

Morgan really wanted to get highlights in her hair and sent me many, many, many pictures of what she wanted! :) So, I made an appointment for her to get balayage. It turned out great! She loves it! And because I'm posting this a month after this day, I can tell you that the highlights lightened from the chlorine in the pool and it's even more blond now!

Team MC Shootout

We haven't been available for many shootouts this summer, but Morgan was able to go to one this weekend. They won both of their games and tied for first place. They didn't play the other team that won both of their games just because of how the games were set up. So, they got medals!

That's a wrap on ACS summer camp!

The girls had their last day of ACS summer camp... they have now aged out of that camp! They met lots of great kids and made many new friends during their years going to ACS summer camp. I don't know what they'll do next year when they can't go back! :(

Avery had a performance for her Actor's Workshop class. And yes, that's Beckett in there, too!

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July at Brett's house swimming and hanging out! The kids had fun doing silly jumps off the diving board!

When we got home, there was a lot of manicuring going on! :)

We decided last minute to check out the fireworks at Ty Warner. There was supposed to be a drone show, too, but that got canceled. All the fireworks in the area were canceled due to the weather, so this one was packed! It was really foggy and there were a few times the fireworks were hard to see. But, overall, it was a great show! :)
