Soccer CAMP


Kaitlyn and her friend, Danielle, just returned from a week at Bayshore Soccer Camp, which is a Christian Soccer Camp across the State of Michigan. Grandpa took the girls with him, as annually he conducts this SOCCER camp for kids of all ages. They play OVER 5 games a day, along with soccer drills, and then at night they go to CHAPEL and do PRAISE AND WORSHIP.

I am really proud of the young lady Katie has become. On the last night at camp, her counselor, MARY (pictured above), came up to my dad and said "WOW, you have a really great granddaughter." He said something like, "I know - she takes after me." She said, "No, seriously, we have been doing cabin devotions every night, and Katie has been contributing alot, and encouraging others on their spiritual walk. She is an inspiration to the other girls in her cabin."

WOW - as a parent, you always wonder if you are getting through to a 14 year old. What an affirmation. She must be listening, at least a little bit......

I am proud of you, Kaitlyn!! With a personality like yours, you will go SO FAR in life!!!
