July rounded out with Carson and Laiken going to camps hosted by the school district. Carson took an "Olympic" camp and spent the day learning about the history of the Olympics and participating in all kinds of sporting events. Laiken chose a math, science, engineering camp. Now, you could not have paid me enough to take that kind of camp when I was her age. My dad was a mechanical engineer for T.I. when I was growing up and he wanted me to love all of that stuff and I just could never find a passion for it. I tried... I even took Calculus classes in college thinking I could learn to love it enough to make it my career, but I just couldn't. Maybe the gene skips a generation because Laiken does love her math and science.
The Monday after the camps wrapped up, Carson got to play in a golf tournament at Stonebridge benefiting the Scottish Rite Children's Hospital.
He raised $350 dollars for the event. His team got first place for their age division and Carson got awarded the longest drive award for the boys. It was such a great event and he is already looking forward to next year. He has also convinced Laiken that she needs to play, too. Farrel is so happy that he can barely stand it--you know, anything to justify spending more time on the golf course!
