Just Back from Camp!

We had a wonderful opportunity to go back to Camp Sunshine this weekend. Those folks are amazing- they somehow crammed 6 days worth of Camp Sunshine into 1 1/2 days! The girls, of course, had a blast, and I got some good talking time with other cancer moms.

Joli and Jada rocking their Camp Sunshine gear!
Joli and her best friend, Julia! Julia is also an Rb survivor and they have bonded over their "special eyes" and their "purple glasses."

The girls on their top bunk! (no, they weren't allowed to sleep up there..)
Me and my favorite girls in the whole world! (And, baby, of course!)


Okay, so super cool part -- Joli is typically pretty shy. But, this time at Camp, she decided she wanted to be in the talent show. I kept putting her off from signing up because I was quite sure she would whisper "Mommy, I'm too shy." Well, she insisted on dancing, getting into her ballet outfit, and then dancing to "Bet On It"-- one of the most obscure songs ever.

Cut to the chase- JOLI WAS AMAZING!! They called her name, "Now, it's time for a dance routine by Joli Vega!", she whispered, "Mommy, I'm nervous.", but hopped up on stage and waited for her music. There was actually a technical difficulty, and the music didn't start for about 30 seconds-- but Joli just stood there gracefully and then ROCKED THE HOUSE!!

GO, JOLI!!! :)
