Basketball

One of my favorite things about living here is that all the kids play every sport.  The same kids from your school are on your soccer team, your basketball team, and your softball team...well usually they are split up to a couple teams, but there is definite overlap.  It makes for some good friends and some fun teams.  We just finished off a great basketball season with a couple pizza parties!!

Tyson's season was great.  He scored quite a few baskets and had a lot of fun and improved a ton.  Boys that age are rough!!  He had lots of super close games and there was lots of fouling and kids fell down a lot.  We just signed him up for a 12 week skills clinic, so we have more basketball starting in two weeks!

This was Kya's very first season of basketball and she did awesome.  A couple of parents even told me that they couldn't believe she hadn't played before.  She is just a natural athlete and tries really hard--even though she is one of the shortest (if not the very shortest) girls on the team!  I watched her score 3 baskets in one game (that they ended up winning 60-10)!  I'm sure she'll be playing again next year, but now we are on to softball!!
