Summer Basketball Camp

This summer was a bit crazy in the mornings, but by 11:00 we were bored out of our minds. The kids did swimming and basketball camp. I never did get any swimming pictures-but being the first year, they decided they didnt want to compete anyway. I was ok with that since I was doing it mainly for the excercise-well, they were doing it for the excercise. Maybe next year.
The boys did the Mesa high school basketball camp and they LOVED it. Caleb and Tyson are sports junkies and loved every minute of it. Noah had fun, but he was kinda forced to go. We are trying to make him a bit more athletic, but truth be told-he would rather be at science camp.


This is the boys with one of the many coaches.
(I love Lani loungin in the background)



Caleb was so pumped and ready to go!!!

Tyson is quite the competitor. He is the one child who lives, eats and breaths sports. All he wants to wear is sports clothes, jersies, basketball shorts. Hes crazy.


Caleb is the kid with the natural athletic ability. (He takes after his mama!) He was built to play sports and does well at every sport he tries. He is quite a bit more laid back than Tyson, but he follows Tysons every move and that usually includes one sport or another.

It was funny to watch Tyson and Caleb play on the same team because if Caleb got the ball he would immediatly look for Tyson to pass it too. When Tyson got the ball, he would take it straight to the hoop. (shows the difference in their personalities)



Here is the only shot that Tyson made the whole game.

And, here is Tyson asking Caleb why he didnt give HIM the ball.



This is the younger age group. I still had my zoom lens on and I didnt have time to switch to my regualr one so I wasnt able to fit in the whole group. Whoops.

Noahs team won their game and he wanted me to take a picture of the scoreboard. So, here it is. Noah played all of 2 minutes. There were so many kids and they all had to take turns.





He had a great warmup...

And some pretty good blocks in his 2 minutes


But this is what he did for most of the game.
But he got pretty good at mastering a few tricks =)



Noah hates sports and would rather be doing anything but, but he knows that we are having him do sports regardless because its good excercise and its good competition and interaction with other kids, so he is at least a good sport about it.
I really, relly enjoyed this camp and I cant wait for it again next year!!
