Soccer camp and new playground

Nathan participated in a soccer camp a few weeks ago. He loved it and it was even better that his cousin, Andrew, participated in it with him. He is hilarious. He did not want to participate in the warm ups. They would play games like dribble the ball then freeze and touch their elbow to the ball. They did this for several minutes while touching other body parts to the ball. Nathan just stood there the entire time. I asked him why he did not participate in the warm up and he said, "cause I didn't want to." Which is a typical Nathan answer. He is always so honest and is not afraid to tell the truth. Lately he has been telling me and Julianne that, "Julianne is mean." Despite him participating in warm up he still had fun. He was very proud when he could dribble the ball down the field and kick it into the goal.





This is Nathan's proud moment after he kicked the ball into the net against another little friend.

Some fun pictures of the girls.






Our city has a new center city playground/natural area. It is really more for adults but it is pretty cool. It is a enormous rock wall. If I had carabiners and rope I would suit up and go climb the wall. The kids had fun on the related kids climbing playground.
