On Thursday night the dancers got together at an Italian restaurant and got to hang out and get to know each other. A couple of the girls in the picture are dancers from Munich.


Here is one more of Leisha during her dancing.

Well again I am way far behind.... someday I pray to get in the habit of blogging at least once a week.....please pray with me. I am hoping I do this right and I will just blog about last weeks camp and then I can fill in backwards as I have time.

Last week we had a very full week. Hannah, Leisha and Lilly went to Irish Dance camp. This was Lilly's first time ever and she had a BLAST. Although by Friday she was pretty well pooped. Hannah and Leisha had extra longs days.. not only where they there to learn their stuff, they were also camp leaders (help teaching the younger dancers). Needless to say they were pretty pooped by Friday as well.

Noah and EJ got to learn a new sport. Hurling is an Irish sport although it is played internationally. It is kind of like field hockey with a twist. The boys LOVED it, even though their practices were done in 100 degree weather. The coaches were very surprised on how fast the kids picked up the game... they are hoping to maybe continue the practices during the year. EJ is thrilled with this idea.

Abigail and Noelle were my big helpers during all of this. Because I was having to leave the house so early on most days, they stayed home with the doggies to help keep them cool. ( we were having a heat wave of 100 degree weather with no real ac) I am not sure how I would have worked the week without them staying home. On Thursday I did get to bring them along and I took the kids to the pool and then on Friday to the lake right before the Ceili.
Here is Leisha in the air, good grief she is high.
The last class of the week., Hannah managed to hurt her foot, so during her time she walked the steps with her fellow injured. Hannah seems to be doing much better and is working on strengthening her arches a little every day.
