Success!

Things weren't really going as planned for the Irish on Wednesday. A couple of close losses earlier in the day, but at last night's softball match up against Michigan, they pulled off a win. As you can see they were giddy with excitement. What's amazing about this group is that they've probably dealt with more adversity than any other team. They're down two players due to injury, but still they remain positive and upbeat. When I asked them about their basketball game yesterday, instead of immediately telling me of the loss, they began with, "we did really well and almost won!" Now that's positivity. Way to go Irish!

Overall Wednesday was a fabulous day. The skies were blue and I believe it didn't even hit 80 degrees yesterday. It was glorious. The kids and counselors are staying energized and for that we are grateful.

It was a typical day at camp with morning meeting, games, individual instruction, lunch, rest period, clinics, more games, dinner and the final set of games. Then teams proceeded to dorm to conduct values meetings and hopefully fit in a trip to the Fir Tree. To end a successful day, Notre Dame headed out to the camp site with Texas A&M for a great night under the stars. I bet there were a lot of them too with such a clear sky.

Wow, do we really do all that in one day? Yes, and amazingly the group is geared up and ready to do it again the next morning. Still having fun....
