My little girl returned home late Monday afternoon after 4 days of intense basketball camp (school as they call it) tired and hungry. The last time she went to Snow Vally Basketball Camp was when she was going in 5th grade - an excellent experience but too intense at that point. Before returning this year, her friends were calling it "Death Camp" but afterwards, she realized it was not all that bad....Her return to this camp was successful and beneficial....plus she met some more new "facebook friends" along the way (the priorities of a 14 year old). hehehehe Anyway, they put in LONG days, getting up at 5:30 to get ready to play by 6:15 and then going sometimes until after 10 PM at night. Not a lot of "down time" but that is not what they were there for. Wayne and I are VERY proud of her (as well as our niece Miranda who also went and the 7 other Crestwood freshmen who also went). It is an intense camp, recognized by Sports Illustrated, but well worth it in the long run. Elyse's only "little" disappointment. . . .four years ago her and her friend Hannah won this competition called "Cut Throat".....not this year......oh well....can't win them all Elyse....And I don't think she will be running for a few days. I included a picture of the back of her heels that were broken, open blisters. Her toes were covered as well. Ouch! Other pictures are just during game times and during the "Cut Throat Competition".
Oh yeah....one final comment.....at her physical Tuesday Elyse measured 6' on the dot! She thinks she shrunk as she was measured almost 6'1" at school. I told her maybe the scales were off...she just chuckled! We do know that she is officially taller than her father, who continues to claim he is taller than her coming in at a whopping 5'10". Go Wayne!
