Soccer video

This is a clip I got at the beginning of one of the days of soccer camp. You can see a little of Ben's "natural ability". Why is it the ones with the natural talent have little interest in it?

Spokane Fireworks



I had to work over the fourth. I got a great layover in Spokane for the fourth. We got in in time for the 10:00 fireworks show. It was right outside our hotel. It was a great show.

Swim & Soccer Camp





This past week Lizzy did a two hour a day swim camp where they swam laps and worked on strokes and had some fun playing water games too. She learned the breast stroke and the butterfly. There were only four girls in the class and Lizzy had a great time. She came away with a little bit of a tan too, which is her first for the summer since we normally go in our pool at dusk. Kim says she looks like she was on vacation in the Carribean.
Then in the afternoons Lizzy, Markie and Ben did a three hour soccer camp. They had fun, although Lizzy has decided she does not really like soccer too much. The coach told Kim Ben has natural ability and is very fast. He enjoyed the camp but again says he is not interested in sports. Markie was a little young for the camp, but I think he enjoyed being with Lizzy and especially Ben. Both of the camps were held at our gym, so at least it got me in the gym a lot, no excuse not to work out. I also enjoyed the pool with Markie and Bella a couple of days. It was a hot week, temps topped 115.
