July Activity Wrap Up

The girls finished up swimming lessons a couple weeks ago. Emily was a little disappointed that she didn't pass but got over it quick when she learned she'll be in level 4 with her friend Ella next time. Caitlin passed and is headed to Level 5 and Rachel "passed" and will be a Whale next time. (she automatically passes, but once in Whales they actually get tested to go on) Gymnastics was a hit as always with all the girls doing quite well. Day camps are completed and Rachel finished her soccer camp last week. Nothing else on the calendar except lazy days and vacation from here til school starts! Yeah! Rachel enjoyed soccer for the most part. For some odd reason or another she hung close to one of her teachers the last two days. To me it was quite annoying. Instead of coddling her I was hoping she'd tell Rachel to run and kick the ball. It is soccer right?!?! Well, the final day of soccer was held indoors due to some rain we had the night prior. So the gym was full of little soccer players. It was loud and crazy. This was the day all the kids would "play" a game. Rachel was one of the goalies for the first half and maybe touched the ball once. Then she got moved to the middle of the court and just stood there. She must have missed the part where she was to go after the ball and not wait for it to come to her! You could definitely tell the kids who had actually seen the sport played before! At the end, however she was able to move to the other side of the gym and meet up with her buddy Kael who wasn't having the best of times either. They both ended up being goalies and neither one kicked the ball. And they both thought they didn't have to do soccer again! :)
