My summer

Hi its Virginia...
My summer was fun, but boring. Usually I go to Brazil over the summer, because that is where the rest of my family lives (my aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins), but this year because of various reasons we did not go. Instead...we stayed here in Austin for most of the summer. I went to a ballet Summer Intensive (its kind of like a camp, but all you do is dance from 9-5 every day) for 3 weeks. Then, I went to Cancun in Mexico for a week. Then finally I went to Belles camp. (Belles is our high schools Dance/Drill Team. We dance at pep rallys and competions, and we do high kick routines at half time of Anderson's Varsity Football games). This year the Belles are working as an addition to the Color Guard, so I also attended Band camp for a week. We (the Belles and the Color Guard) are carrying 7 foot tall "moon staffs'', twirling colorful flags, and dancing/twirling rifles while the marching band plays and marches! It looks VERY cool! Our first competition with the band is Saturday!

I have taken dance since I was three years old, and I guess I got into it because even before I took class I would just dance around my house. I go to Brazil every summer (june -about the middle of August) I stay from a few weeks after school gets out to a few weeks before school starts again! I mostly just visit my family, but sometimes i go site seeing to historic cities and other things like that.
What about you? What do you enjoy?
