Worship Arts Camp!

Last night, Emily and Caitlynn had their "Worship Arts Camp" performance. They did such a great job. In the commons area, they had all the displays of the children's art. Emily and Caitlynn did photography, so they had a small collage of pictures, on display, that they had taken. Once the program began, they did a song in sign language, which was wonderful. They also were a part of the STOMP group, where you play ordinary objects, as instruments, to make music. That was soooo loud, but so good. They were so cute up on the stage. Emily was chomping gum, again, this year. My goodness, she told me as soon as I dropped her off to her classroom that she would throw it away. I guess she was so excited that she forgot and there she was -- just chomping away, right up on stage!! hahaha! At least she was chomping, with her mouth closed!! Oh my she is so funny! Here are some pictures from the night.

Update Time!

It's time for an update, since I have been rather slacking in the blogging department lately. This week, Emily and Caitlynn had "Worship Arts Camp" at the church they attended for Bible School. They had so much fun and got to pick three types of art classes to take. Their schedule was: Photography, Sign Language, and STOMP! They really enjoyed their week. Emily's favorite classes were photography and STOMP! I'll have to check with Caitlynn on her favorite classes, but I'd be willing to guess that they were the same as Emily's. I would drop them off every day at 8:30 and pick them up at 2:30. They really enjoyed themselves. While the girls were at their camp, Ryan and Hunter were at skateboarding camp again. They learned a lot of new tricks, which made us feel better since their camp is a bit on the "pricey" side. It was nice to have all four of them at camp, at the same time. While they were at camp, I enjoyed some free time on Monday and Tuesday, which is a coveted luxury, during the summer months! hahaha! I watched Brandon and Joshy the remainder of the week, so they kept me very busy. Yesterday, we had a great day at the pool. It was so hot and we definitely enjoyed the water. Joshy has become very brave. Emily and Caitlynn were taking turns throwing him and he just loved it. He even let them put him under the water and took his water wings off. Brandon is still a bit nervous, but is very slowly coming around. Here are a couple of pictures and a video at the end, of the girls throwing Joshy. To 'hear' it, you will need to scroll down to the bottom and put my playlist on 'pause.'
