I know it has been a long time since I posted here; I haven't been in the mood to write. But we just visited a really exciting week and I thought I couldn't let it go by without documenting some of our experiences. This past week my two oldest children attended a local Ukranian Dance camp from 10-4 each day. Then tonight the group put on a stellar performance in costume of the songs and dances they learned throughout the week. They did a wonderful job, even kids like mine who don't do any other type of dance the rest of the year. This was our first year to attend, although last year friends of ours from 1.5 hours away attended so we went to the recital to see them and were quite impressed. This year our friends stayed with us for the week, which was lots of fun, and we then attended together. Even though we have no Ukranian heritage at all, we did learn some about that very rich heritage. WE were also introduced to the bandura, a stringed Ukranian instrument, that reminds me of the harp. I found that many parents were also around at the camp much of the time and were very friendly. Many people come back year after year and form lifelong friendships through meeting each year at the camp. IT was indeed a blessing to go and very affordable I might add and we hope to continue to attend in future years. |
