We stopped at Hobby Lobby while Hailey had volleyball clinics - Kaitlyn bought a bracelet kit that had emoji beads within it. She went to school the next day and had an emoji bracelet sign up list. Then she came home and made them all bracelets
This year - each mom had to lead a meeting. I picked making a tool box. I took these home depot kits that had nails and predrilled screw holes so they could screw them together
My attempt t make sure it worked with screws
Painted each one the girls favorite colors
We are ready
They had a lot of fun putting them together and then painting some stencils and other stuff on their finished products
Hailey and Maddie went to the Bulls/Sox Academy Basketball camp this summer. During camp they had a skills competition. They ran these skills competitions in their camps every week all summer long. Over 1500 campers went through their camps. They consolidate the results and the top 3 finishers from the entire summer get to compete in Champions Day at the United Center. Hailey qualified in all 3 of the events. Sadly, Maddie did not qualify - she was very close but did not. After the Champions Day - we had a United Center Experience - which every camper gets as part of the camp. The United Center Experience is a behind the scenes tour around the stadium

Bob Love was there for the Q/A section. He is one of 4 retired bulls jerseys
Mickey Johnson (former NBA/Bulls player and Bulls Ambassador) and Bob Love were the 2 available for the Q/A session
All in all a super cool experience very few people get to do.
