Back during the spring, Cody's football coach had the idea to put on a little football camp for our team this summer. He had 16 boys sign up for camp, and what a time they had. We dropped Cody off on Saturday afternoon, and didn't get him back home until Friday night. Camp was held at Grove Level Baptist Church in Maysville....it is a massive complex...with a lake, a pool, and many fields for the kids to use. It was the very first time that Cody had spent more than one night away from home, but he did excellent! They started each day with an hour of PT "physical training"....at 7am! Then they had drills and stations and other activities throughout each day. A couple of nights, they had flag football games where the parents and kids played together. Both mommy and I got to go down and play during the week. It was so much fun playing with the kids!
The kids all learned how to do a "dance" where they took off their shirts and twirled them over their heads, then grabbed their privates, and shook their butts....so proud of them!! But, along with all the fun things they did, you could really see them get better as a football team as well. They are a really good group of boys, and the coaches all bragged about how well behaved they were all week. Hopefully there were some life lessons learned as well as football lessons!
I have to admit, though, I sure was glad to get my Codybug back at the house! It just isn't the same when all the boys are not here. Our house / family just doesn't seem right if we are all not home together. I'm obviously not ready to be an empty-nester just yet....luckily, I've got a long way to go!
