Since we joined the club this summer, Lincoln has been so excited about attending Sports Camp for a week. It finally happened this week, and he LOVED it! Drop off was at 9:00, and Linc was always super ready to go. They met at the outdoor tennis courts to get organized for the day. The coaches took the younger kiddos to the indoor tennis courts for morning tennis drills. Daddy got a sneak peak one morning, and the Lincoln was having so much fun and learning from his coaches.
After hour and a half tennis lesson, they had a snack and moved to the pool for a swimming lesson from the lifeguards then free swim. Lincoln is a total fish and was always happy to play in the pool. They had lunch on the patio and then watched a movie on the outside TV for rest time. He mostly loved the movies: Monsters, Inc and Frozen were his favorite days. After lunch, they had a tennis lesson again then ended the day with a snack and more swimming. Happy guy at the end of the day!
Wacky Wednesday meant that he had to dress crazy for camp, and he chose to wear mis-matched PJs. Ms. Sally called him up to the front to show off his wacky attire, and he was so proud of what he picked! There was a girl in a tutu and witch hat, a boy in a Halloween costume, a girl with PJs inside out, and Lincoln with his mis-matched PJs. So fun!
Beau was with us for drop off on Wacky Wednesday, and he looked at his big brother adoringly as he was called up front. Beau was looking a little wacky himself! It was PJ day at Pre-School, and he grabbed his hat to be like Lincoln. He can't wait to be 5 and go to Canyon Creek Camp too!
Five full days of tennis and swimming was so fun! Lincoln learned so much from his coaches, and they awarded him with Best Backhand at the end of the week. He loved that! They had a little carnival to celebrate the end of the session and he got to use his Sally Bucks (play money distributed when the coaches see a kid succeeding at a new skill, exhibiting great behavior, or doing something extra nice) to buy a few suckers and a toy. So fun!! When the pool closes and we have more free time, we'll be hanging out at the tennis courts . . . with Lincoln showing us how to properly execute the backhand!
It was a great week of camp, and he really loved the experience. A few times this Mommy was worried about leaving him in an environment different from his regular school. He promised each morning that he wouldn't wander from his coaches or campmates, and he reported that every part of the day was fun. The coaches and Ms. Sally said that he was great and really participated in each part of camp with eagerness. That's my Lincoln!!! It's great that he loved it so much because he's probably going to spend most of next summer there. We can add in a few golf camps too, and he'll be the best and the tannest tennis player, swimmer, and golfer ever!!!!
