Summer sports

Summer camps have started. We enrolled the kids in a morning multi sport camp for the week. Today was the first day and the kids had a lot of fun. Annalise was a little unsure at first but warmed up as she watched the other kids playing. She is learning skills for soccer and basketball through games geared for kids her age.

She reminds me so much of myself in this picture with the serious look on her face.


Women's soccer watch out, Annalise shoots and she scores!

Jeremiah's camp is a little longer than Annalise's but he gets to do three sports: basketball, soccer and T-Ball. He had a lot of fun meeting new friends and playing despite the high temperature today. Just like Annalise's class they learn skills through games. One game was shark and a few kids were the sharks who had to tag and chase the other kids. Jeremiah really liked being the shark.

A day at the ballpark

Our family was able to go to a local baseball teams game and be the "Hometown Hero for the Game." We were able to get to the game early and see the inside of the stadium, get a tour of the locker rooms, walk onto the field and receive a team merchandise goodie bag. It was great but I do not think anything could have made this day better than Jeremiah catching a baseball with his pizza tray. We were sitting in our seats and the 3rd baseman waved to Jeremiah, we were pretty close. Jeremiah waved back and then looked down to grab his pizza slice. All of a sudden splat landed a baseball in the tray. The 3rd baseman asked if he was okay, and was he ever. He was super excited and talked about it for days. Here are some pics with Jeremiah and his first ever caught ballgame baseball.
