Kurabu

You know your child is growing up when you pick her up from Japanese camp and find out that she rode the city bus to the local pool with twenty 1st graders and ten Japanese interns...and it was "no big deal, mommy."
Rynn spent the week at Kurabu- Richmond Elementary's summer Japanese camp led by the interns who will be in each classroom next year. They did crafts, Taiko drumming (see above), dance, and more all in Japanese. Rynn had a great week, and is excited for First grade. I want to take up Taiko drumming. I think slamming a drum while shouting and using my entire body sounds a bit freeing. Maybe I'd be a nicer person...hmmm....

The final performance this afternoon...

"oh, wait..what was that move again?"

Eleanor got to spend her week at "Box City" camp at her new preschool. The review on that one was not as high as playing at her friend's house today and eating ice cream. I think the week with big sister gone was a little challenging after getting used to playing with Rynn day in and day out this summer.
