| Receiving the "Best Actress" Award at Camp Curtain Call |
My oldest daughter is an artist. She loves to draw, sketch, and create and Art Camp at the Louisa Arts Center was awesome last summer. After she joined Chorus and went to 7:30 am practices all school year, she realized she really likes to sing sing, dance around and perform anything! This summer...Camp Curtain Call!! Wow what an amazing program!! For two weeks she went to camp from 9-12 to practice practice practice (with one missed day for our DC trip - but we did stop to see the Ruby Slippers at the Smithsonian!) and landed the role of "City Mother" from the Munchkin scene in Wizard of Oz. She had a few short speaking lines, and once she spotted us in the audience, sang her heart out. My heart of course melted when she finally saw us and her face beamed. Ahhh proud mommy moment! In the car on the way home she was just beaming and said "Mom I loved this I can't wait until next summer" Yes yes this was very worth it.

We may be a small country town but we can rock out the Arts!
Still up...concerts in the park, movies on the big screen in the theater (we have to drive at least 45 min to go to a Regal), and a long list of performers coming this fall.
What I love it that the kids are marking the calendar with local things to do and see. No whining for time on their iPods or laying around watching TV this summer. They actually WANT to get out there. Ok lesson learned! Slow down Mommy and your kids will do the same!
