Summer Day-Camp Ends

During our initial inquiry, P and I were told that this particular Day Camp was accepting enrollment for all kids ages 6 years and above. Since S was almost 6 (she's a few months shy of her 6th b-day), they eventually considered her. Initially, we had a few concerns about how she would handle being the youngest kid in camp. This feeling soon dissipated when we saw her thrive in the company of her peers and caring Counselors.

Well what do you know - in what seemed like a blink of an eye, four weeks is over!

For their last day in Camp, the kids had prepared an hour-long Talent Night Show entitled "A Walk In Time" for their parents and loved ones. The boys stood out in their bright red shirts while the girls wore white, their hair tied back in neat buns.
There was singing, dancing, gymnastics, step performances, guitar playing, and hilarious skits.

One of the evening's crowd pleaser was a lively dance number to the beat of Chris Brown's "Gimme That".

After the program, S requested to pose with two of her favorite Counselors.
Then the Program Director made a surprise announcement that they were presenting 2 Awards (Best Athlete and Best in Arts & Crafts) for each age group.

P and I were both speechless when they called S' name as the recipient of BOTH awards for the 6-7 year-old group!

A few days into camp, she had told us that she was enjoying herself - we simply had no idea it was this much.
(This may seem mundane to some, but do indulge me a bit while I gush. I haven't received any Sports awards/certificates when I was in grade school. Nope - not even for "Perfect Attendance" *sigh*).

Of course, P took the gene credit for the "Creative Jeweler" one. Here's S posing with her proud Dad.
