Denver Vacation

Nicholas was scouted out and invited to go to the FBU (Football University) camp. So we decided to make a vacation out of it and have some fun. This was such a fun experience for Nicholas, he was able to be coached by some retired NFL football players. My favorites were Cecil Martin, Marc Logan and Josh Scobey. They were some really awesome men that were good examples and wanted them to learn the game but let them know that it wasn't ALL about football. They were trying to teach them that the most important thing was to be good enough to get an education at a university so you can have a degree. They also taught about having values and goals. They told them to write them down and look at them daily. It was fun to listen to them talk and teach the boys. I loved it. We had fun as a family just being able to be together and not have any plans. Our life is so busy so it was so fun just being able to go and do whatever we wanted to do.

First thing we did GO SWIMMING!



Shopping!

Shopping!
