Benjamin and Josie attended the UK International Soccer Camp for a week in July. It was hot but not stifling and they both LOVED it. It was the first time that the two kids were at the same place at the same time and I didn't need to be there. Since Benjamin has had separation issues in the past I decided to stay and exercise by walking around the field for the time they were at camp. Benjamin loved it SO much that the next 4 days I was able to leave go swimming or run errands and each day I returned he was smiling, giggling and enjoying every minute of it.
Josie was on the same field just in a different location and she also really liked it. She had gone to this same camp a couple of years ago and was a bit miserable as it was the hottest week of the summer. I remember that week, it was near 90 degrees by 9 AM and the poor girl nearly melted. Thankfully it wasn't nearly as warm this year and she loved it. Although she didn't want me to take any photos so there are very few of her.
Several of Benjamin's friends from preschool were on his team.
Really, I have never seen Benjamin so consistently happy. This was probably his best week of the whole summer.
Every day after lunch Josie, Benjamin, Elliott and I would head over to the park to eat lunch.

He loved sitting on his ball and listening to the coach.
His team even won the end of the week scrimmage.

The last day of camp was July 11th. The ever popular free slurpees at 7-11.
