What a week!!

I have so much to share...

Let's start with Kate Wills...
Kate went to Green Frogs "camp" this week...her last week at her favorite preschool...it was a Nick Jr. theme and she was in heaven with her old friends and Miss Jennifer and Miss Chris...she was sad to say goodbye, but we will visit, so that made it easier. She spent the night with the Hanna-Comptons (while Bob and I got away for one night), and while they were together they went to the Urbana Library to see none other than...Max and Ruby! Miss "Alissa" and Payton are two of her favorite people, so Miss Kate was in heaven! Kate continues to beat her times in freestyle and backstroke...she'll swim both of these strokes tomorrow. She told her swim coach today, "I think I even like backstroke a little." :-)
Now to Jake Wills...
He attended Stu Vetter basketball camp this week. His team made it to the championship game in 5v5...but unfortunately lost 4-2...tough game! He got to hear Greivis Vasquez speak and got his autograph...he thoroughly enjoyed this camp and wants to go back next year (only if his request to go to sleepaway camp with Connor is denied...oh dear.)
And last, but not least...Connor Wills...
He spent five days and four nights at Frostburg University at Coach Wooten's basketball camp...and had a ball (no pun intended)! He and Matt were roomates and Cody and Hunter were in their "suite" of rooms. They were on courts playing games or doing fundamentals from 9am to 9pm...they were exhausted...and they learned a lot. Greivis Vasquez also came to their camp and spoke to the 600 (yes, I said 600) campers there. You wouldn't believe how incredibly well managed this camp is...and the kids absolutely loved it! Bob and I went to watch Connor play on Wednesday on our way up to Deep Creek Lake (our one night get away) and then went back Thursday for Connor's championship game...his team won the championship for his league...PAC 10...it was a great game. Connor's game improved just in the one week they were there. They are already talking about going back next year!

And now to the one week get away I keep mentioning... Bob surprised me and took me to our favorite bed and breakfast, Lake Pointe Inn, at Deep Creek Lake. We sat in the big rockers on the porch overlooking the lake...reading and doing nothing...ahhhh...we took an evening boat ride on the lake, went to dinner, and sat by the fire pit roasting marshmallows and relaxing some more...it was wonderful!

The Inn is behind us...

Have a fun weekend...we plan to!
