I'm back home from a fun filled week with Miss P at Suzuki Family Camp at Blue Lake.
It was an intense week of cello and music and no internet or phones. Here's the breakdown in numbers.Miss P participated in:2 four day music camp sessions that included30 hours of cello class,Two cello play-ins,Two fiddle concerts,One chamber recital, andTwo end of session concerts.
We also enjoyed:
Two faculty concerts,Three camp fires with s'mores,
Riding bikes around the camp,
Dropping ants into antlion traps
Catching tadpoles and dragonflies,
Creative time in the Art Barn,
Swimming in the camp pool,Playing with friends made previous years at camp,
Catching minnows at Duck Lake, and
Two trips to Pekadill's for ice cream.
Luckily the storm that brought tornadoes to other parts of Michigan this week missed Blue Lake.
Miss P is excited to practice this summer and has a list of new pieces that she will be working toward. We are eager to return next year.
There were lots of fabulous shows, festivals, and fun times in the five years we were associated with the group.
This years graduates were making the most of their last show.
It was a real crowd pleaser.
Thanks to all involved with the group and especially Fritz. It was a great ride!
She practiced all afternoon.
M even had fun drilling her on the five notes she has learned.I wonder how unusual it is to get one's finger stuck in the "f" whole.Don't ask.
We enjoyed our first snow day! It is bitter cold but we have had a bit of sun.I have been lazing about today, doing a little knitting in in the glow of the tree while P keeps the holiday cds playing.
Eventually someone will need to go to the store. We are almost out of milk.
This morning I went went bowling with P's preschool class. I love how preschoolers are not worried about form. They are happy just to get the ball to go the length of the lane!
We have enjoyed two beautiful days of sunshine and blue skies. How wonderful it is to be outside without the full winter armor.
I hope you are enjoying some brighter days too.
Ah, spring is in the air.
