Sports Camp Pictures

So, I put Lincoln in sportscamp this summer. It was  week long. He went for half days from 8:30 to 11:30. He had a great deal of fun, though it was hard leaving me in the morning. He was a bit whiny most mornings but the counsellors were pretty good. They would see him cuddling me and being sad and then they would come over and talk to him and try to get him to go and play with them. He was usually pretty good when they came to take him, except his last day. It took me about 20 minutes to leave him because he kept crying and asking for 'just one more kiss and hug.'
They took him swimming on Tuesday and Thursdays, and because I was paranoid, I went and watched him from the side. He didn't know I was there, because as much as I'm paranoid, I do want him to try new things and be comfortable without me.
In any case, because I wasn't at the sportscamp, I don't have many pictures of it, but I did get a few. On his last day, when I got there, he didn't quite know I was there, so I took advantage of the opportunity and took a few pictures of him outside playing tag with the other children.

This was apparently frog tag - and if you get tagged - you had to drop down and be a frog.

More frog tag...

Just playing outside... 

Running around....

More running...

And he saw me...

Running a lap in the gym...

And running to me...

One last close up and we left the gym...

If you ask him how he felt about sports camp, he'll tell you it was fun. He'll also tell you that he doesn't want to go in it again, but that's just because of the whole separation from me thing. He also told me that he didn't like swimming with the Sportscamp because they make him wear a lifejacket.
And on that note, I believe I am off to bed... Or, I may add some more pictures...
