This past week was action-packed as we participated in two different camps! The two oldest kids went to a basketball camp in the morning, and we all participated in the VBS at our church which was at night! While we had some tired kids by the end of the week, it sure was a lot of fun!
The kids have watched plenty of basketball, but they have not actually played too much. The camp they went to was for kids like them who didn't have much experience playing, so it was perfect! They loved practicing their dribbling, learning they different ways to pass the ball, and also to work on shooting.
Faith really enjoyed shooting, especially when she would make a swish!
Since it was a camp, there were also many fun games thrown into the morning as ways for the kids to practice their skills. They both had a great time, and each of them said they would like to go again to a basketball camp! They are looking forward to shooting hoops at Grandpa and Grandma's house next week!
While the kids were at camp, Olivia and I were able to hang out each morning. She decided that this was the week to wear a bathing suit as much as possible, even though we never made it to a pool or the beach! This was how she wanted to go to Target! Today, it was a different suit for Costco! I decided this was a battle that wasn't worth fighting as there are plenty of ideas she has that I do have to say no!
The theme for VBS this year was Camp Discovery, and so we ended the week last night with a camp fire! This was the first year our church ever did a nighttime VBS, and it turned out very well! A dinner for the whole family was served starting at 5:30, and then VBS opening began at 6. All three kids were able to participate as Olivia was placed in the preschool class. I was worried about how she would do in there, but I was told each night that she did so well!
Olivia was very happy to be in class with her good friend Brinley!
Steve and I ran the games all week! Here is Faith and her friend Rose doing one of the games! In this game the kids have to bring a water balloon from the cone to a bucket without using their hands or arms! It was fun to watch! These two have the balloon resting between their backs! It was a fun week, but I'll be looking forward a slower pace next week!
