Kelsey has been going to sports camp one night a week for 50 minutes for the past few weeks. This past week, she began an additional four day camp that went from 8:30-12:00. It was the first camp that she has been in where I had to drop her off and leave her. Kelsey is not shy and I knew she would be fine, but being the nervous nelly I am, I stuck around for awhile after I dropped her off the first day. I brought a good book and thought I would just sit in the car and read in case she needed me or had a hard time with me leaving. After about 30 minutes of watching how great she was interacting with the other kids and the teachers, I decided to "cut the cord" as they say and leave her. Sure enough, she made it out in one happy piece :) I guess she actually commented at one point to the teacher, "Why is my mom still here?" So needless to say, the other days I dropped her off and went back to pick her up when it was done. They played soccer, volleyball, kickball, basketball, baseball, went to the park, made jerseys, and made crafts. She had a fun time and it was good for her (and me). She also had her one night a week camp last week and she had a cheering section. Aunt Stacey and the boys and Grandma and Grandpa came to watch her do track and field. While Kelsey was busy running and jumping, Megan was busy hugging her cousins. She did hug Lucas too, but I missed it.
After sports camp, we went to the the safety fair. Kelsey got to sit in a police car and the Mayo One helicopter. She wanted to sit in the helicopter just long enough to get a picture. I have to admit, the thing gives me the willies because I think about how it is used when someone is in a really bad situation. We watched the helicopter take off and leave afterward.
