Soccer Camp

          As a surprise addition to our summer fun, Audrey and I went to soccer camp!  Well, I coached the pre-K and K division of Jackson's soccer camp.  Audrey got to come along and be a camper for the week.  For one hour each morning, I worked with 12 four and five year olds (plus Audrey), perfecting their mad soccer skills.  Ok, so we played a ton of games that helped the girls learn better dribbling and ball handling skills, but it was still a lot of fun.  It was also really hot, and I was so proud that all of the girls stayed on the field with me for the entire hour.  As added motivation, Coach Walton (running the camp) brought popsicles for the girls at the end of each day!
          I was not sure if Audrey would want to participate (or stick with it), but she loved every minute.  She worked really hard and did great, especially considering that Mommy was her coach.  Our biggest obstacle was actually the fact that she is so competitive that she did not want to lose any of the games.  When our week of camp was over, Audrey asked if we could have our own soccer camp in the back yard.  In the language of a three year old, I think that means she loved camp!
