Rachel's long camp odyssey has begun -- she is in camp almost every week this summer except when we're on vacation. Today was the first day of camp (school ended Friday, June 19) -- and it's, um, cheer camp because she prevailed upon Drew to sign her up.
She learned the basic cheer jump -- high, with legs split -- and the various hand positions. It's a Y camp, so they do swimming, too, and their extended-day program runs until 6:30 (a godsend to me today because I had to pick up the Girl Scout cookie rewards and pick her up). Extended day has two fun options: Activities or reading in the gym; art in the cafeteria.
When she saw me (I got there a little early), Rachel came tearing down the hall and jumped into my arms. I swung her around and hugged her and kissed her multiple times, as she did me. In fact, the whole evening she seemed unusually cheerful, probably because it was a weeknight and Mommy was home for dinner, a rare occurrence at our house!
