Jimmer Jam

Last week we loaded up the camp trailer and drove our butts up to the Provo KOA to stay a few days while Connor went to Jimmer Jam.  If you haven't heard of Jimmer Jam, it's a 3 day basketball camp put on my Jimmer Ferdette and his WHOLE family.  The camp was in Lehi so it required a little bit of driving back and forth but it wasn't too bad.  Tuesday (the first day of camp) the girls and I went with Rory and Connor to Jimmer Jam to see what it was all about.  It was a pretty amazing experience for little Connor and very informative.  He learned a lot about basketball, but they also talked a lot about integrity and respect.  The girls only liked camp for about 5 minutes, so we jumped in the truck and found a park down the street to play at.  I count my blessings there was a park and I didn't have to stay at camp with the girls, it would have been just short of a nightmare.  That evening we headed to Salt Lake and met Wally, Kristene, and Drake at the Bee's game.  It was really fun, although I have no idea what happened in the game.  Every time I go to a baseball game I end up visiting and watching other people instead of the actual game.  We had really good seats, but half way through the game the kids (except Kinlee) headed over to the general admission seating to roll down the grassy hill.

The rest of the week is kind of a blur.  We really didn't do much, we went swimming and shopping and tried to relax.  I did make Rory sit at Sonic for what seemed like an eternity so I could get a yummy cherry coke and we may have jammed out in the car to some old school tunes to embarrass our kids.... I can't wait til they really get embarrassed, it's going to be fun ;)
