Last Friday evening Ariel had her first performance ever. It was so great! She was adorable and did very well. She was in the Jump Company down at a church in town that held a summer camp all week long. It was 2.5 hrs everyday, and so they had the chance to learn moves to four different songs. The performance also included the other classes the camp had held also, including puppeteering and ballon making.
Ariel's group opened the show with a fun song. The pastor was praying as the kids all got into position. They were standing still and quiet, and then there was Ariel. She was in the middle in the front and she was jumping up and down waving and smiling with the biggest smile I've ever seen on her face. We were all waving and trying to shush her at the same time, and trying not to laugh. She was so cute and so excited!!
She did very well with her dancing- she got all the moves right, and seemed to be the leader for a lot of the kids. Some of them weren't concentrating or something and missed a few spots. The funny thing was that only her and one other kid (her new girlfriend, Annika) were in the first grade. Everyone else was a lot older than her- 3rd grade to 5th grade.
Those of us who witnessed this will forever remember this night for her and that contagious smile and energy. What a perfectly satisfied and happy little girl she was up on stage.
