Hello all!
I thought I would fill you in on some of the light and fun things of training camp that was now a couple of weeks ago!
Towards the end of training camp, we basically had a field day! This was one of the last things we did. We were told to dress all out in our color (red) and have lots of spirit! So if anyone knows me, I went all out…aka I love this stuff. The 27 members of iSquad paraded out to the field on that Wednesday afternoon all wearing our I for incredible shirts!
Field day activities included
– Dodgeball
– a nice and messy game called “leap to the clouds” involving leap frog, a bowl of flour, and a hunt for marshmallows without using hands
– a game called David and Goliath involving two squad members, one pool noodle, and one raw egg connected to the head of one partner.
– A game called Mario cart involving balloons tied around our ankles.
– And last but not least…a dance competition!
When I heard that this was going to be a part of the competition, I chuckled. If there is anything I know how to do at this point in my life it is make up and teach a dance. So don’t worry friends and family, not much has changed yet in the life of Genna… I am getting very into dance competitions and costume spirit awards. If some of you don’t know, I have been dancing since I was 5 years old. It has been a huge part of my life. I have danced at a studio from ages 5-18, I have been a part of studio competition teams, my high school dance team, my college dance team, many sorority dance events and I have even danced as a summer job at a theme park! It really is amazing how handy it is to have a talent of dancing haha.
However, the trick for this one was… no music. Now this was different. I have never done this before. We had to think outside of the box. A couple of squad members and I put our heads together and came up something good. Using the theme of the Incredibles movie, chants, interesting formations, movie quotes, dance tricks, and of course a dramatic ending, we were crowned to winners of the dance competition and the winner of all of squad wars!
I squad prevails!! Enjoy our winning performance 🙂
