More Summer Camps

During the week of June 11-15, both kids had a summer camp for a few hours each day!! #praisethelord

Abby did Vacation Bible School (VBS) at church. She was a little worried initially because her two closest friends (Mia & Cate) would not be in attendance. However, she quickly latched on to Ella - a girl from school - and came home from Day 1 very excited and happy.

 The kids were separated by grade, and Abby's group rotated through 6 stations each day from 9-12 pm. Imagination Station (Science/Crafts), Music, Saints, Movie, Games, and Snack. I'll let you guess which ones were her favorite...…

Music & Snack :)

On the last day of VBS, parents were invited for the last half hour to watch a slideshow of pictures from the week, as well as a performance of their 3 songs. 

 Ella came home with us on Thursday for a playdate, and both girls planned to be twins on Friday - tie dye shirt, jean shorts, and ponytail. They are too cute!

 I have helped with VBS in years past, but was unable to this year. However, the co-directors (two of my good friends) and all the volunteers did an *amazing* job with everything!! Just look at this set.....the theme of VBS was "Shipwrecked: Rescued by Jesus." They made all of this!

While Abby was at VBS, Nate attended a basketball camp with his buddy Mason at Shelton State Community College. It was 9-2 pm (and on the opposite side of town, so I did a lot of driving this week)!

On Day 1 of camp, Nate was pretty nervous. This was his first time doing a sports camp and he was unsure of what level everyone would be at. I assured him he wouldn't be the best, but not the worst either. (And of course I was right. Aren't moms always right!?) They were divided into age groups, and he had about 8 boys in his group. However, he came home from the first day very teary-eyed because one of the boys had been double-dribbling constantly. The coaches didn't catch it, so Nate thought he was cheating. He said he did NOT want to go back the next day because it wasn't fun.

I quickly told him he was 100% going back - because we had already paid! - and that he needed to either 1) talk to the coach about the cheating, or 2) try to steal the ball from him.

He came home with a big smile on Day 2 and said he SHUT HIM DOWN! :) I was so proud. And he enjoyed the rest of camp after that.

He came away with a camp t-shirt, green basketball, and lots of new basketball skills. So proud of him for trying something new & stepping out of his comfort zone.
