1st Basketball Game!

Eli's new cheese face...I remember Alison going through this same phase

Our Saturday was full of watching basketball.  I have a feeling this is just the beginning of long days of sports for this family.  The games were running behind, so we had to watch part of a game before Alison played.  It actually worked out well for us to sit on the sidelines and talk through the game with the kids.  They've only had a couple of practices where they ran through drills, but didn't really know how to actually play the game.  Ben was really excited for the kids to play basketball because it's his favorite sport, but I think I was equally excited because it's pretty much the only sport I really understand and can help them with.  


Both kids did amazingly well in their first game.  



Watching 5 and 6 year olds play basketball is one of the most entertaining spectacles in life.  It was the best!  Plus, they're pretty stinkin' cute in those uniforms.

It was exciting for me to see these two kids get in the game, really participate and LOVE it.

That is awesome! Will they have a game or a practice while we're there? We'd love to cheer them on.
