Weber State University Soccer Camp

One of the benefits of going to Utah a week early was that the girls were in town in time to go soccer camp with Grandpa VudhiVadhana.  The WSU Women's Soccer team was holding a soccer training camp for kids and thanks to our connections with the coaches ;) the girls got to attend.

The camp was for 3 hours a day for a week.  The kids were divided into age groups.  Paige and her cousin Wyatt were happy to be grouped together.  Ashley didn't know anyone in her group but quickly made friends with a girl who came down from Idaho to attend.  They were a good match and had "not being locals" in common.

Of course, the best part was that Grandpa got to see the girls play soccer for the first time.  He also spent a couple of days training Ashley's age group and got to work directly with Ashley.  My dad LOVES soccer so much, it brought a smile to my face to see how happy he was walking around on the soccer field.  Of course, he was pretty easy to spot because he wore a crazy, Asian, lampshade, sun hat.  Dave said he looks like a character out of the movie Big Trouble in Little China.

Lunch at the Pie



While the girls were at camp, I got my morning workout by power walking around campus.  It was fun to see how much the campus has changed and improved since I was a student.  Also, because Becky's son, Wyatt was at camp she came and walked with me a couple of times, so did Debby and Dave on the days they were around.  The camp ended around noon every day so afterwards we always went to lunch with Grandpa.

The camp started right as we got to Utah so the girls were busy from the get-go.  The first week of their vacation they were pretty busy getting up early for soccer every morning, training during the day and then visiting with family every evening.  By the end of the camp, they were pretty tired but they both loved it and I'm glad we got the chance to do it.  Just maybe we will do it again next year.  Thanks Coach Tommy aka Grandpa!
