Summer Football Camp - complete!

Dear Vern Fans,

Summer football camp lasted for 3 days. This was just a camp to review drills and get them pumped for the real league starting Aug 2. 
The real league has cleats, helmets and pads.
The real league has practice 3 or 4 times per week. (12+ miles round trip - you add the miles...)
The real league has games starting in September. (more info to follow later)
Vern is perking up and coming to life all ready.

Anyway, back to this summer camp.  Basically Vern L-O-V-E-D it.
It was:
Sweaty
Hot
and
Buggy

To quote Vern - "When I am done practicing mom it feels just like when I get out of the shower. I am just as wet!"
He did get icys and a new shirt for participating.

Since we pilgrimage over the hills and through the woods we are always blessed with wildlife viewing in the evenings.  The first night it was a baby deer still with its spots.  Last night it was a flying low turkey (thank goodness it missed the car) and dragonflies. There were literally 1000's and 1000's of dragonflies buzzing and dancing in the air of all sizes. DA MOM was not on her game and did not take a photograph of this event.  I was busy gawking at the beauty of them plus trying to drive. I will try to do better next time.

We also get to view Lake Missouri River every night as the eastern edge of town is completely flooded and will be through most of the summer and fall. It makes me sad to pop over the hill and see all that water and a farm home in the middle of it. :-(

It will be a good season as both Vern and I are excited for it to begin.

Sincerely,
DA Football Mom
