Dance Camp

Last week, both Caden and Allyson attended Dance Camp. They loved it! We weren't sure if we were going to attend dance classes this fall, so we didn't have the clothing yet (Boys wear black shorts and white shirts - Girls wear black leotards and pink tights). After the first day, Allyson came home and found a black dress that was in her closet and asked to wear that to dance camp the next day.
On the last day of camp, parents could come in to observe for the last 15 minutes. The kids did so well all week.
When the parents started filing in, Allyson was so excited to see me - and then started to cry - she didn't want to leave me to show me her "dancing". Of course Caden didn't want to be left out, so he wanted to sit by me too and not do his "dancing". About 1/2 way through, I finally talked Caden into showing me what he learned with the other kids. (I did promise him a piece of gum when we got into the van) Allyson didn't want to show me what she learned.

I am so proud of both kids. Allyson told me after we got home that she "was nervous" and is more than willing to show me what she learned at home. We have seen the Peanut Butter and Jelly move frequently!
Yes - we have registered and are going to be attending dance classes this fall!
