Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a relaxing holiday weekend at my parents' house in Florence. Most of my siblings (and all of the grandkids) were there. Ty checked out some great camera lenses from work and had lots of fun playing around with them. Other than that, we mostly just ate and laughed.

 

 

Mom and Dad prepared a great meal. I'd have to say that my Dad's stuffing this year was just about the best I've ever tasted.

Fall Sports Camp

Today was the first day of Jack's sports camp. It is only once a week for four weeks, but I think it is going to be perfect for him. He was very excited about going into the community center and getting his picture taken for his ID card.

Today was soccer. The class is for kids between 3 and 5 years and it was very obvious to me that Jack was the youngest (though not the shortest). It was hilarious. I was covering my face most of the time because I didn't want Jack to see me laughing at him. They were learning how to dribble and then stop the ball with their feet, but Jack couldn't quite figure it out. Every time he tried to stop it, he just ended up kicking it more and so he chased the ball to the other end of the gym. I think it will be really good for him to learn how to listen to the coach and follow instructions.

This is the only picture I was able to get. As soon as I took it, Jack ran over to me saying "I want to see it! I want to see it!" So, I decided that the camera was too much of a distraction. Next time: basketball!
