MCB Summer Intensive

Level II
5 weeks, 30 hours/week
Monday-Friday 11-4:30 and Saturday 9:30-12
A great opportunity and experience!
1st day
Ms. Brittany was teaching at MCB this summer- Abigail had one class/week with her! And some Tuesdays and Saturdays, Abigail was able to ride home with Brittany!


Some days are long and tiring, but she really enjoyed it!


 The last day of classes they invited parents to observe two classes
(90 min ballet and 60 min jazz).  It was fun to see the hard work that Abigail had been putting in with 5 weeks of great teaching and training!
 Last day!
 Level II
(there were about 15 in her level but not all were there at the class picture)
2019 MCB Summer Intensive
The morning of Abigail's last day, Mommy and Dady gave her the MCB Summer Intensive shirt.  After classes finished, as we were about to make our last drive back home- Abigail surprised me with a shirt she made for me!  She had ok'd the project with Daddy, but the idea was all hers.  It was a very thoughtful and hilarious gift (Abigail had even handmade a paper/ribbon bag to look like the ones MCB has)!

Corban is 13!

Last sleep as a 12 year old!
We had a doughnut breakfast to start the day!  That evening, he requested meat & cheese pie for dinner, and then we had mint cake, we sang happy birthday and he opened gifts!
(Abigail was there for all the celebration but was sick and didn't want to be in the pictures)


Corban put together the Saturn V Lego set (with 1969 pieces and tiny astronauts to scale with the rocket) within 2 days!





1/2 plate and piece of cake for Daddy's 1/2 birthday!








And just like that, we have a teenager!
