Frozen Camp

One last ballet camp for Madison, a "Frozen" mini-camp that she had to be at this morning around ten o'clock.  Balance that with Daddy's driving back and forth to assist with the ONE Marriage Conference, and it made for a busy day.

The camp itself was packed with kids, so the whole "Frozen" thing is still quite popular.  Madison and another girl wore their recital dresses from recently, and they fit right in.

The girls made crafts, like tiaras and snowflakes.  They also did their usual dance, where all the parents joined in one gym at about 1:00 pm, and watched the girls do a short routine that they just learned not long before.  And after that, it was time for more practice for the real thing - the girls all went to their respective rooms to do more work on the actual "Frozen" production that takes place next month.  It was a pretty full day for Madison - she was working on the closing parts, curtain calls and so forth.

We got home later, and we did some Tomb Raiding - that game still has some life in it left.  Surely we're approaching the end by now.  But in all seriousness, Madison is figuring out a few puzzles on this game that Daddy wasn't figuring out, although we won't tell her that, will we?  She was pretty smart to solve a few of them.  Daddy solved a few too, but there were more than a couple that Madison single-handedly figured out.

After that, it was back to the ice for "Mighty Ducks 2."  Intermittently, we were peeking at the Olympics as well (on another television).  The gala was tonight, so Madison watched the Shibutani siblings do an ice skating routine, the last of these Olympics.  She loves these two:

It was a nice moment - she really likes these two a lot, and hopefully we'll see them again soon.  In the meantime, Daddy - and the rest of America - was completely blown away by the gold medal winning performance by Team Shuster, the self-proclaimed "rejects," who played an amazing final game of curling.  It's been called the "Miracurl on Ice," because the odds of the Americans winning, let alone continuing into the playoffs, were really low.  We've been watching them play all week, and to see them get a gold medal may be the most rewarding one in this Olympics, just when you consider some of the back stories.  It's a group of great guys, and I'm sure they're not going to be going back into obscurity now.  If only there were a curling venue somewhere nearby.  Surely these are going to start getting more popular now!

Anyway, it was a good night with popcorn and those Ducks defeating Iceland.  I'm not sure how Icelanders feel about "Mighty Ducks 2," but we definitely like it!
