Warriors basketball camp...

It's no secret that Landon is not just a basketball fan but a Golden State Warriors fan.  He has saved up his allowance & purchased six different pairs of Curry One basketball shoes.  His wardrobe consists of basketball shorts & four Steph Curry/Warriors shirts.

When the opportunity presented itself for Landon to attend Warriors camp only 5 minutes from home we knew we had to sign him up.

He was a little nervous heading into camp the first day.  We prayed in the car before going into the gym & I assured him that he would have a great time & that he would make friends.  t
As Landon warmed up, first alone & then joined by some other kids, I saw him start to play with another boy around his age.  They took turns shooting baskets & encouraged each other as they made basket after basket. A few minutes later he came over & told me that I didn't have to stay anymore because he had made a friend.


After over six hours of basketball camp you would think he would want to come & rest a bit.  Nope.  Not Landon.  He was all the more eager to get out & practice the skills he had learned.  Sometimes I wish I could tap into just a little bit of his energy.







Landon had a great time at camp & learned a lot.  While he was really hoping to meet Steph Curry instead he did get a chance to meet the Warriors draft pick, Jordan Bell,  & get a signed picture of him.
