Moving Mountains Soccer Camp

My friend, Jenny, along with the help of her awesome family, UVU and a lot of donors, put together a free soccer camp for kids with autism a few weeks ago and Cruise was lucky enough to participate. He was not excited about the fact that I had signed him up for this thing, but once he got there, he really had a great time! I have never seen him have so much fun playing a sport. Each kid was assigned a volunteer buddy who spent the entire time with them, teaching them technique and just having fun with them. The cool thing was that my good friend Eileen's sister, Sib, was assigned Cruise, so she already knew a lot about him. The camp was two days and only an hour each day, which is perfect for this group of kids. They really all had a great experience. And they all got some great swag too (including a ball!).
 Oh, and Batman showed up too. Miles wanted to be near him, but not next to him.
Jenny's husband, Ray, getting sprayed with water. He walked around misting all the kids so they would keep cool. Such a good idea!
