Off again ...

I'm wondering if there is anything Cameron has done this summer that HAS NOT involved skateboarding? Or traveling? I'm thinking no ... he'll have no problems writing that essay when he starts school in a few weeks. Well we're off again! At least Cam and I are. He finished up his camp at the skateboard school on Friday. And on Monday he'll start a new camp ... in Vegas! Oh yeah. It is a fantastic opportunity for him and he could not be more excited. A visiting mom at his camp was telling Bryan about an indoor facility in Vegas. Looked it up and saw they had a summer camp offered. Long story short - Called and got him hooked up! The owner has 8 instructors, all certified and training a group with no more than 4 kids. Training ... a little bit more intense than what he's used to now, but he's ready. The owner was excited to have him for the week and anxious to help with some of the areas that Cam could use some extra training in. It also sounded like he had a few semi-pros coming in during the week to teach. And with the lovely accommodations provided by mom and dad - we're set! So he and I are headed out tomorrow morning ... driving .... and headed back next weekend. I'm very fortunate that my supervisor approved for me to work from mom and dad's, so while he's at camp I'll be putting in my hours. :) We're keeping our fingers crossed - and toes - that Bryan can fly in Tuesday afternoon and leave Wednesday evening. He wanted to be able to see Cam skate while he was there, so hopefully that works out. Unfortunately, we probably won't know until Monday for sure. His progression with his skating has come a long way in the last few months. I'm really excited for him to polish off some skills and learn a few new tricks this week. I will try and post some pictures throughout the week!

Other than trying to keep up with work ... and laundry ... there hasn't been much going on. It's been hot. Really hot. And the humidity has been horrible. If I wanted to have curly hair I'd get a perm. Or live in Florida again. So our outdoor activities have taken a back seat for now. Even swimming is a bit rough ... the pool temp was 88 a few days ago. It was somewhat refreshing ... for about 20 minutes. Then you start to feel like you're in that Bugs Bunny cartoon where he thinks he's taking a bath .... in the big iron pot sitting over a fire? Toss in a few carrots and voila! Dinner is served. The monsoons should start up next week .. lucky Bryan. But looking forward to a little rain ... and the lightning storms are pretty cool. Okay - time to change my loads again. That's it for now! I'll keep you updated on the Vegas stop of Cam's skateboarding tour. :)
