Racoons on the Loose

The kids spent most of August at Northwest Aerials, with Megan attending their summer camp for 4 weeks (Mo-Fr) and Sophia attending the "kiddie" camp for 2 of the 4 weeks (Mo, We, Fr).

Camp was cool - Each day had structured gymnastics, free time and pool time. The kids came home utterly exhausted and ready to eat dinner and go to bed. Sophia was determined to not let me know she was having fun and proceeded to throw some nasty crying fits when I left in the morning. She would then carry it through in the afternoon by claiming to NOT have had any fun. Right. I arrived early one day and caught her in the act - splashing around and giggling in the pool. Caught ya!

The last week of camp was a theater class through the Missoula Children's Theater group. In one week the older kids auditioned, learned lines and songs and rehearsed for two performances the last day of camp. Megan was one of the crazy racoons in their version of "Little Red Riding Hood."

She had so much fun performing for the audience. Supported by Auntie Sandra and Cousins Kristin and Nathan at the 4pm show and by Grandma Norma and Grandpa Ken at the 6pm show. The only thing needed was a few safety pins to help hold the pants of her costume up!

Playing keep away from the "woodsman" in "Little Red Riding Hood."
