Lillian spent a week at One Sport Soccer Camp in Park City. She learned amazing new techniques, made some new friends and had a blast!
Two of her coaches were from Ghana. Both came to the US on Soccer (football) Scholarships. Tracy and I enjoyed visiting with them, such interesting young men. They loved teaching a sista some new skills. Very few sista's play football in Ghana. They said that girls only play football in Ghana if they're ugly!
Bello Alhasson is from the Volta Region and attends college of Northern Arizona.
Albert Kumah is from Accra and attends Bucknell University. We couldn't help but think how far they have come. Very inspiring young men.
THE OTHER NEW FRIEND DOESN'T HAVE A NAME YET!
His name is Yellow, and his mane and tail are shimmery yellow, but he doesn't respond to it.
He needs a powerful name. CJ likes Zephyr. I like Canon or Nikon and we all know why :)
Isn't he amazingly beautiful?! He reminds me of Devil, the horse of my childhood. We rode Devil bare back holding on to his mane. Good summer memories, new and old.

I love the pictures! I'm so glad Lil had a good experience at camp, and it was so cool that two of the coaches are Ghanaian! The horses are beautiful....yep, definitely needs a powerful name. Gorgeous horse. You've been a busy lady!
I suppose "Sprinkles" isn't the powerful name you're looking for, but Miss E thinks it fits him. He's beautiful! The horse of my little-girl dreams. I still think Canon is the best name.
What a cool experience for Lillian. You don't meet many Ghanaians in Utah, and how extra cool that they share a passion for "football."
My vote is for Canon too! I think that's awesome that Lillian got to have that experience! What a great summer.
What an awsome experience for Lilly, she is such an awsome player. I like the names Gunner or Cyclone for the new addition, but that's me.
What a great experience for Lil.
I agree he needs a real cool name. I remember Devil, we rode him all over the place. And probably some places we wern't supose to.
