Camps, Galore!

Beginning with the last week of school, the kids have been involved in camps non stop for 4 weeks. It's one of the things I love about our little community and town -- they have summer sports camps and the kids love going and seeing their friends and working with the high school kids. And as an added bonus they are CHEAP! 

90% of the documentation from these camps is video (because they want to see themselves IN ACTION, of course!), but I did manage to snap a few pics. Madeleine had dance/pom camp the last week of school. I pulled Charlotte from gym early to get there to see her perform and we made it just in time! The dances they did were so cute! I only took video of the dancing, but Madeleine had a great time -- and she's even taught Charlotte the dance so now they can do it together. :)

The first week of summer, Harrison went to basketball camp. He loved it! He got to play bball with all his buddies and then they scrimmaged for the parents at the end. It was a great experience for him. Here he is with a few kids from school at the end of camp. 

The next week, Madeleine had volleyball camp at the high school. She wasn't really sure at first about going, but I told her this is a good chance to see if she likes volleyball without making a full season commitment to it. Volleyball starts in 7th grade and that's just a year away! Wow! She ended up having a great time and learning a lot!


This week we finally wrapped up camps with Harrison in football camp. I knew he was going to love it because this past year at recess a group of boys have played football nonstop. Harrison has improved so much because of daily recess football! ha! He loved football camp and learned so much! He even loved some of the drills, although his favorite part by far was the daily scrimmage. :) He took a finger to the eye on the first day and it took several days for his eye to look normal but it didn't keep him from having a great time!

So, with camps over, we can start working on our summer fun list! I am ready to have some time with my kiddos home. I know August will be here soon enough and we will be back to the grind so I'm trying to soak up these next few weeks as much as I can!
