Today was the second day of camp shows at Briar Hill. Since I am so close to camp, I had decided to go to go both days. Today I asked Grandma and Grandpa to join me. Aunt Betty also came, because we didn't actually get to see John perform yesterday. We arrived at camp today and saw the end of the previous show. Betty and I both said to Grandma and Grandpa, "When those parents move, we need to move to the front and get the first row." Grandma looked at us like we were crazy. But it didn't stop Betty and I. We practically ran to the front. We ended up getting seats right in front. And the perfect view of my boy and the rest of the Hortons.
When they were done, the announcer asked them "Do you want to do it again?" The kids all yelled a mixture of NO and YES! We laughed. Then the announcer asked the parents "Do you want to see it again?" The parents of course said yes. And the kids had to dance again for us. They did a great job. Afterward, we got a few pictures of the Hortons.
Today was John's camp show. Aunt Betty met me at work and we drove over together. We arrived at camp just as the group before John's was finishing. We found a seat up front. They called the Hortons to the stage and we didn't see John. We looked everywhere and no John. Finally Tom, John's counselor, came over and said "Sorry, but right as we were lining up John got stung by a bee. He's in the nurse's office. Do you want to check on him?" I said of course and practically ran to the office. There he was, clutching his ear. He had tears in his eyes. The other counselor with John said "He got stung on his ear." Poor boy. So we got back to the amphitheater just as the Hortons were starting the show. I asked John "Do you think you want to join your friends?" He said "No. It just hurts so bad." He sat in between Aunt Betty and I and watched his friends dance and sing. I have to say that he was really brave and handled his first bee sting really well. He stayed at camp and he and Tom called me later in the day to let me know that he was feeling much better.
