Aiden’s #ColtsStrong Summer and a Cody Zeller sighting
It has turned out to be quite the Summer Sports Spectacular for Aiden this year. Not only did he start playing football, but he also wound up going to three different Indianapolis Indians games (without having to buy a ticket – thanks to a friend of his, the Greenwood Public Library, and Slingshot SEO!). But that’s just the beginning…
Colts vs. Bengals preseason game
At about 10:30 yesterday morning, Christy texted me, asking if I thought it would be a good idea for Aiden to go to last night’s Colts vs. Bengals preseason game. Her aunt had extra tickets and invited us to go. Things fell into place rather quickly and Aiden and I wound up spending the evening with some very good seats, taking in the final preseason game of the season. It was cool to get to watch Antoine Bethea play because…well….keep reading…
Antoine Bethea Colts Skills Camp
I like to tell people that I get paid to surf the Internet. It’s much more complicated than that, but I’m online and perusing social profiles a lot. While doing my job, I came across a tweet from the Colts talking about open registration to the Antoine Bethea Colts Skills Camp. So we promptly signed Aiden up.
He was in heaven. He learned some skills that set the foundation for what he’s doing on the field now. And it was free! Can’t beat that. Plus, Mr. Bethea made some fans for life in the Todd household. He played around with the kids and really encouraged them. He ran some drills with them (as seen above), and showed some genuine interest in the kids who were there.
My son had a BLAST at the #Colts Skills Camp. Many thanks to @Tweez41 for making my son's Summer start off with a bang! http://t.co/dguLqA87

I should mention that Antoine Bethea retweeted this status. Yeah. That’s some pretty cool beans.
I couldn’t fit all of the pictures from the Skills Camp on this post, but if you’d like to see more of what went on, you’re welcome to view the album here!
Distinxion Basketball Camp
What else is there to say about Cody Zeller that hasn’t already been said? Same is true about his brother, Luke. He and his family run a basketball camp called Distinxion. Aiden got to go to that this Summer, too! There’s more details about his experience here.
2012 was most definitely a Summer Sports Spectacular for Aiden!
I’m already a little bit nervous about what might be in store for him next Summer.
