Blue Lake
The girl and I had our first experience at Blue Lake last week. It was so much fun and the girl learned a lot! Most importantly she was encouraged.
She had three classes each day. Her teachers had lots of great games to help her work on techniques and understand style.

Ms. Andrea worked with the girl on her cello hand so that her fingers each had 2 bumps and were on top of her strings.

Pretty close!
She also learned “secret one”…in other words some fine motor skills that let her move one finger back and forth between strings.

The girl made so many new friends at camp!

I asked the girl what her favorite things were about Blue Lake?
Bunk Beds

It was a wonderfully exhausting 3 days!!
I’m sure we are going back!

The flower girl
The girl was honored to be the flower girl in the wedding of a good friend yesterday! It was such a beautiful wedding in an amazing grove of bur oaks! She was very excited about her job, and took it as seriously as any 4 year old would!

Well, almost! The rehearsal was a lot of fun. She loved running around in the trees playing “hide and seek”. She also loved throwing dandelion petals to practice!

After the rehearsal the girl and her mom went back to the hotel for a fun sleep-over! She had a chocolate treat (shhh…it was really made of dates and cocoa powder), wore her Lightning McQueen pjs, and watched Cars 2! Kachow!

We slept late the next morning, and took our time getting ready.

The wedding was on a farm/vineyard. It was really hard to not run and play before the wedding! So many trees to hide behind, so much room to run…
The girl enjoyed the typewriters that were used as the guest book. (Best idea ever!!!!)

The ride to the ceremony via tractor and wagon was almost too much! Don’t worry, she didn’t drive!

Somehow we managed to keep the dress clean until the wedding started.

She escaped down the isle as the parents were being seated to bring me a bouquet of sticks and dandelions. It was really cute…I wish I had a photo of it! We got her back in place and she did a terrific job spreading petals down the isle!

After the wedding, we didn’t worry as much about grass stains, as you can see…
