British Soccer Camp June 2009

Mary went to soccer camp for a week this year. She is signed up to be on a recreational team this fall, so we thought it would be good for her to get some instruction befor the season starts! She was in a group of 6 other kids her age with "Coach Sam". It was funny watching them try to figure out some phrases the British use..."Raise your hand if you haven't had a go.", said coach Sam. No one raised their hand and there was a long pause. Then Sam said, "Let me try that again. Raise your hand if you haven't had a turn." All of the sudden half the group responded.

Here is Jenny, the coach that stayed with us for the whole week camp was going on. She was a lot of fun to have. We especially enjoyed exchanging culture and customs. While at our house Jenny got to try cantaloupe, asparagus and burritos for the first time!

Here is Mary with Coach Sam.
