Anja's Up With the Arts Performance

The first summer activity Anja has been involved with is Up With the Arts camp through Fredericksburg Parks and Rec.  For two weeks, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday, Anja did arts and crafts projects, sang songs, went for nature hikes, and did other artsy things.  The camp ended last Friday with a performance by the campers.  Anja was in the Kindergarten group, and they did a performance titled "Under the Sea."  The kids were broken up into groups such as mermaids and sharks.  They decorated their own masks and created other costume bits (Anja was a mermaid and she had a crepe paper necklace).  The kids sang and danced to a song, and did a really great job.  It was fun to watch those little tikes perform!

Mom, Dad, Jason, Elise and I all went to watch the performance.  It was at Alum Springs Park, where Anja has had her camp the past two weeks.  The park is wooded and shady and beautiful.
