On Thursday, Weston and I woke up early and headed to Ducanville for Terrell Owens Football Camp. The weather was perfect (102 degrees...ouch) for a day of running/throwing/tackling, etc.
The boys listened while the coaches talked to them about drills they would be doing, as well as encouraged them to try hard, listen to their parents and do their best. They did a great job of motivating the boys and getting them excited about camp.
All the coaches volunteered their time to help these boys...there were NFL players (past and present), college players, high school and college coaches..all spending two long days in 100 degree weather to help these boys. And, amazingly, every time I saw them they were laughing and joking around. When I stopped one man to thank him, he told me he had been doing this for 15 years, and it had blessed him more than we could ever know. 
The first day, Weston was the only one (really, the only one) wearing denim shorts. On the second day, we stopped and got him some athletic shorts...much better. 
Some of the awesome volunteers....
All the boys on the field for the last day. They worked hard and had an awesome time...we'll be back next year.
