We returned from Lake Coeur d'Alene tan, relaxed, and a bit exhausted from having been gone for most of the summer thus far...and one day later Husband had a youth football camp for players in grades 3-8.  He did a great job organizing and planning this week long event and I know his hopes for putting such a large amount of effort into such activities is that these boys will eventually be strong football players for his HS team.  Beau was technically too young to attend, however he went everyday and participated in all the drills and stations.  It was really hot outside and the boys were pooped by the time it was over.

The really cool part about this camp was that TJ and Beau would ride their bikes to the field each day...Husband always went down around 6:30am to prepare and the boys would jump on their bikes about an hour later and take off.  I could see them riding all the way to the field so I felt totally fine with it; it was just strange to know they are both grown up enough to do this.  Now riding home was a different story...95 degree temps after 4hrs of working out...the bikes ended up in the back of Husbands truck a few times. 

This is one tough kid...he amazes me with his stamina and sheer will to keep up with the big boys!

High Knees Beau!

Running with Coach Sunder

He's very speedy!

Go TJ!

The long knee socks first appeared around basketball season and I thought it was a phase...apparently they are here to stay.  Even when it was REALLY HOT outside he wore them?????  TJ loves football and it's been really cool to see his dedication to it this summer!

Camp ended and we headed to the waterslides in Chelan and have been home hanging out since then.  We've been to Omak Lake almost everyday and I've (Finally) learned to wakeboard. I have a long way to go...like actually crossing the wake...but I can now get up and go for more than 2 seconds...like almost 10 seconds! Yeah for me...except my ten year old is quick to remind me that he learned on his 3 try and is already better than me....pipe down boy!

Summer Heaven!

Summer is GREAT!

Friday we head to Banks Lake for our annual River Trip campout with a bunch of families...tent camping is not exactly what I feel like doing but this is the last official adventure of the summer and we are going to enjoy ourselves!
