Emily waited 365 days for this -- finally, it was time for Miami Figure Skating Camp! She was up early ready to get her stuff packed up at Grandma's and get to Oxford for check-in. She was extra excited this year because she knew several girls in her group this year from last year's camp AND this year, Kelsie was going too and was going to be her roommate! She could not have been any more excited.
This year, the kids were staying in a different dorm - Hamilton Hall. It was still right across the street from the ice rink, but this dorm was 1000 times nicer than the one they were in last year. It looked to have been remodeled recently and was very nice. This dorm even had A/C! Emily could not have been happier.

She worked very hard this week on her sit spin, her moves and most of all her axel. She really wanted to land this jump at camp. She got very close, but didn't quite get there. BUT, much to my surprise, she added an axel to her program at the exhibition and darn near landed it! I was so proud of her for really going for it (and knowing she would probably fall in front of all the people watching but doing it anyway). She was so very close. I know her day is coming to land this jump...that is if they ever open our rink again (it is now closed completely for an estimated 2-4 more weeks). Sigh...
