AHHHHHH is all I can really say about boot camp. It was hard, hurty, sweet, fun, and absolutely amazing. It was fun to have new people join us Angels at camp this time. I enjoyed watching them learn and try new things as we did the same. It was also nice to actually have it at my gym. I felt right at home and it was a lot closer to home than Kalamazoo.
I had Missy, Frank/Richard, and Ashley (an Angel) stay with me for the week. It was fun and very entertaining. Although we didn't spend much time at the house. Most of our time was in the gym. We would arrive at nine in the morning and we didn't get to leave until around nine at night. I guess it's my fault we were there so long because I had trampoline practice right after camp. The three of them would play in the gym while I kicked my butt at practice.
Speaking of kicking the booty that's exactly what camp did to me. I was beginning to feel terribly out of shape and camp couldn't have come at a better time. I was a bit worried at first however because the last time I climbed a silk was in July I think (way too long). But I learned a lot of new fun things that I can incorporate into a silk routine and I definitely feel more confident up in the air. Luna also taught me a cool new flip on the lyra... it was way cool.
I like the fact that I now have silk burn on my legs and feet/ankles, my body is soooo sore, and I have bruises not only on the tops of my feet from lyra but on my shin as well because Luna has a boney butt and fell on it. ALTHOUGH it was COMPLETELY my fault :)... cause for some reason we don't make good partners for partner balancing. Oh my gosh that brings me to another fun and exciting thing I learned how to play on. THE ROLLING GLOBE... I can now get up on my own and walk forward, backward, turn a corner, turn in a complete circle, walk on all fours, juggle, and I can now jump!
My most exciting moment on the rolling globe would have to be when Star told me to try and juggle and walk at the same time... so I did. Lady and Star were sooooo excited for me we had to stop Isabella in her new hoop routine and we had to show her my new trick. Isabella watched said "good job" and followed it up with "eventually I want you to be able to jump rope"... baby steps I tell myself... baby steps :)! Spike was my very own personal cheerleader through it all!
Well I had an exciting and fun week. It was tiring and very hard, but so worth it! I even learned a couple new words (thanks Isabella) :)!!!
