At the boys' school auction this year, we purchased Josh a two day football camp with his favorite Broncos player, Demaryius Thomas. Unfortunately, the first day of the camp, he woke up with a migraine and we had to miss it. But, he was able to make the second day and he loved it.
Demaryius warmed up with the boys and helped run some football drills.
They also ran a 40 meter dash race. Josh almost won his heat. He was in first until the very end.
They were divided into teams based on age and had a coach to tell them what to do. After the races, they started scrimmaging with other teams. They had played two games the first day and played two games the second day. Josh's team ended up winning one and losing one on the second day. I'm not sure how they did the first day.
Demaryius took over quarterbacking duties from Josh partway through his first game. How cool is that? Josh played touch football with a real NFL player.
The first day the teams had their pictures taken with Demaryius as part of a souvenir from the camp. Since Josh wasn't there that day, they pulled him up during a break and had him take a picture with Demaryius by himself. I think I was more excited than him since he doesn't like to be the center of attention.
What a great experience.
