Michael's Trip

The day after school got out Michael hopped on a plane to Utah to go to BYU's basketball camp.  His flight was delayed quite a bit and he was picked up by an incredibly nice friend at 1:30 am.  Monday morning Michael and his friend Robbie, who lived in Houston a few years ago, checked into the dorms at BYU, and were sorted into their different teams.  Michael also met up with another former Houston friend Tyler who was at the camp and they were able to hang out during mealtime. It was pretty cool that they were all there the same week of camp. 

Michael's assignment team for the week was Arizona from the PAC-10.  He was the rock of his team, and was nominated to the AllStar team at the end of the week.  When Michael wasn't doing drills and playing games, he spent all his free time playing pick-up games...shocking I know. 


The camp was run by the coaching staff and former players of BYU.  Coach Rose talked to them periodically and even Jimmer showed up one day between NBA training camps and spoke with them.  Michael played hard, had a blast and was really sore by the end of the week.

After camp ended, Michael went to stay a few days at my brother Scott's house. The first thing they did was go and play basketball at the church with a bunch of guys until midnight. Michael was in heaven. My sister and her family also came up for the week-end, so Michael had fun bonding with his younger cousins. They loved tackling him and having him pull them around.
