to HIlton Head Sports on the Beach

Always active with boys, no time for true relaxation.

Paddle ball and ball fell into a crab hole.

They even joined a beach soccer game (both scored some goals!).

 

to MB

Carter and Luke were off to Myrtle Beach with family to visit Great-Grandpa.

 Always a party at the pool, dancing and all.

Then all the other fun for the 4th of July week.

And they had to catch some World Cup soccer, at Planet Hollywood, right in front of the big screen (by Luke's face you can tell it was the game US did not win).

When dads away

The dog takes over.

Luke ended up in my bed and the dog in his (the dog is supposed to sleep in garage, nicely tucked in her kennel).

Sports Camps

Luke is wrestling (man camp with running two miles, lifting tires, etc. and of course lots of wrestling).

Carter at basketball camp.

Old School Basketball Camp

Headed a couple of hours away for Carter and Luke's first overnight sports camp (they have done overnight church camp before).  Time for Hawes Old School Basketball Camp, staying on the campus of a school...the boys were ready for the dorm life and ready for tons of basketball.

We checked out the facility and off they went for Wed-Sat basketball camp from early in the morning till late at night.

It was hotter than hot while they were there and tense humidity...in a field house with no AC and only some fans.  During a quick water break, there was always time to stand in front of the giant fan for some relief.

They had a great time at the camp. 

Carter's team made it to the camp finals so he received a medal.  Luke was the youngest in the camp.  The camp is for Carter's age and older (middle-high school) so Luke was 2 years younger than the youngest players there.  Of course he had no problem.

Carter, the more responsible one, tried to get enough sleep and make sure they got up in enough time every morning (even before the counselor would come around to wake them) because he knows Luke can take longer when tired.  Luke on the other hand was enjoying every moment of camp...even hosting a party in their room the last night, ordering pizza and all.

All that fun and he was done...holding on to his new camp basketball.
