Dance Camp

This week Faith has spent her time and energy dancing!  For the first time, she attended Cassie's Dance Camp!  It is a local camp run by a Christian teacher who really has a passion for dancing, girls, and the Lord!  And Faith loved every moment of camp!  With a fun and positive atmosphere, dancing, Christian music, crafts, and about 100 girls, what is not to love??!!  She is already asking to go to both weeks the camp is offered next summer!!

One of the added adventures of dance camp was that Faith wanted her hair done in a different style each day!  For a girl who has been resisting any alteration from the standard side little pony tail, I was thrilled that she wanted some variety!  I thought it was cute that she noticed how other girls wore their hair and wanted to do similar styles!  The picture above shows the day she asked for two braids.  It turned out okay for a mama who has not had much practice!!

At the end of camp today, all the girls put on a performance for the parents to see.  The girls were divided into age-based groups, and each group learned a dance to a different song.  Watching all their hard work in today's show was a real treat!  Sadly, my pictures of Faith dancing in the show did not turn out at all, so here is one from before it began!

We celebrated the fun week and Faith's hard work with some ice cream at Tutti Fruitti after the performance.  As we were walking out of the show Faith said to me, "Hey mom!  I have a great idea...how about we go and get some ice cream?!"

One of the fun things about Faith being gone each day this week was spending lots of quality time with just Shane!  Today we met some of our MOPS friends at Padaro Grill for lunch! 

And here Shane is with his best buddy, Miles!  Neither Miles nor Shane is in the stage of life where they like having their pictures taken!!  On Wednesday of this week the two boys and their wonderful mothers went to see a movie together and then played at the park before picking up the girls from dance camp!
