Eli's last basketball game


Eli's game was at noon...it was 107°...and there was no air conditioning.  Thankfully they made it a short game, but it was not the most comfortable experience.


Ben was on a work trip, so Colin recorded for him.

I made a rookie mistake and forgot to push the record button on the most amazing play by Eli, but let's just say he has grown so much in the game this season and it has been so fun to watch him play.
I'm not a sports person, but I was honestly sad to see this season end. 


We all survived!

 

 Right after the game, they had an end of season party at the pool. 


Participation awards are getting out of control!


Perhaps the best thing that came out of basketball season was Eli making a new friend.  As we came to the last week of practice, Eli realized that meant he would no longer see his team 3 times a week and asked us to help him figure out a way to still see Nathan, his closest friend there.  So I gave him a card to give to Nathan with my information on it so his mom could call and we could set up a play date.  As we left practice, Eli asked, "So is that it?  Are we best friends for life now?".  I chuckled and he asked very seriously, "Why are you laughing?"  Thankfully Nathan's mom did call and we are able to keep the boys in contact :)
