Little Sport

If you can't tell from the fact that we do an inordinate amount of sporting events, Glenn is a BIG sports guy. (ESPN is the only channel he knows! Okay, he does watch other shows, but the majority is sports related. Its a good thing I love --have grown to love in some cases --- sports, too.) Ben loves this and thinks that Glenn should spend all day, every day playing some form of sport with him. Its been great for both of them though as they have a fun time and get some excercise! On Friday Glenn left work after lunch so we could go to Target and get a baseball glove....for him (he's already given Ben his from childhood.), so he and Ben can play catch. They proceeded to spend the rest of the day doing just that.

I had found some flat basketballs in Glenn's junk room, so I offered to buy them a pump if they would use it and actually go play basketball. Glenn LOVES to shoot hoops and hasn't in years, so he was thrilled with the idea, as was Ben. And on Saturday afternoon (while we listened to the Gamecocks first win in the Supers...Omaha bound! YAY COCKS!!) we took Ben and one of his friends to a local park to play and try out the basketballs. I am proud to say that I was the first to make a basket!! :)

Ben also asked (while we were at Target) if Glenn has golf clubs and does he play. Because he has decided that he wants a set and they should go play. (I'm believing this one is his Poppie's influence!!) He has decided that he wants to try it all and see what he likes best!

And, so today he started soccer camp. In this awful, horrible heat. But, he LOVED it. (He's so worn out that he is napping instead of watching The World Cup --- which is all he has talked about.) Glenn had to pick him up for me because of summer school and got there a little early to watch from the car. He was SO excited to text me that as he pulled up --- Ben scored a goal!! Way to go, Ben!
