Basketball Fever!






Today we entered the world of sports feet first.  Owen played his first EVER basketball game.  There are only 5 boys on the team, so they all play the whole time.  The coach has twin sons that are on the team, Conner and Hudson.  The hour is broken into two parts.  The first half hour is fundamental practice.  The second half is broken into for 6 minute quarters.  Owen did great with the practice portion.  He was hesitant trying something new, but he slowly warmed up to the concepts.  However, when the practice was over he wanted to go home.  He didn't want to play anymore.  So I encouraged him to stick it through and try his best.  Somehow we made it through, I don't think our team made a single basket.  But it will be better next week... we get to bring the post-game snack!

We're trying to get Isaac to play a sport, but he only wants to bowl and golf, does that count? Good for Owen for trying and sticking it out, it will get better.
