Soccer Camp

Soccer camp ended as awesomely as it started. Both kids had a blast! I'm so glad they did because every morning Pat and I had to wake the kids up to get in the car for a 45 minute drive to camp and that would have been awful if they didn't want to go! I almost wish it were two weeks long! They were both coached by some pretty talented University of Akron  players and we'll hopefully get a chance to see them play in the fall. They also got to meet and interact with the coaches of the men's team, something I think Pat wishes he could have done:)
A chilly morning!

They split campers up by age group and luckily Owen and Paige were on opposite ends of the same field so I could watch both! I stayed every day for the two hours Paige would play and used up the time watching the kids, and talking/walking on the track next to the field with a friend I made the first day.

Owen in action!

On the last day, all the big kids and coaches on the field started chanting "little kickers" and formed a tunnel for Paige's group to go through. So awesome for them! Here's Paige emerging from the tunnel!

Paige and her coaches! She loved them all but really connected with Shea (behind her in the picture)

The campers!

Paige's group of ragtag soccer players. There were a bunch of young ones that had trouble keeping it together by the end of the week but Paige was very professional:)

All the older kids!
