Football camp


About a month ago I signed Carter up for a free football camp put on by Amobi Okoye who graduated from school here and now plays for Dallas. A friend of Carter's also signed up and so we picked him up this morning and took off for the stadium. I thought it would super crowded since it was free, lunch included, and they had registrations all over the city. But there were only like 150 children there and about three hundred adult volunteers! So anyway, I am dropping off Carter and hear them divide them into ago groups and one of the groups was 5-7. I went by the sign in table and asked about that since I was under the impression you had to be at least 8 to attend. But they changed it so I asked little man if he wanted to go. He smiled from ear to ear and was super excited! And, as hesitant as I was to leave him in that mass chaos of men, I left and took Laurel home for a little while. When I went to pick them up, I had three boys who were exhausted and hungry. SO HUNGRY! We then headed to the pool and they swam like mad. Now it is time for a few video games and then supper. I bet everyone sleeps hard tonight.
