The Last Basketball Game

Yesterday was our last round of games for a while. We don't do any spring sports so I always look forward to this breather! Sports are fun, but they keep us so busy that it's hard to do other things. And other things are good too!

We left the house at 7:30 for Brandon's game. Yes, his last game was at 8:00. Another thing I won't miss ;) He has worked so hard this season but still hadn't made a basket during a game.
 Until yesterday! He played great! First basket during a game! He's very excited to say the least :)  (That's not a picture of his basket. He made an attempt in that picture but it didn't go in. I didn't get a picture of his basket. I was busy holding my breath screaming in my head, "SHOOT!" It was very exciting.)

Most of my pictures turn out like this:
Crazy-blurry. This is one of the good ones. They just move so fast. I can't tell you how many I have of nothing. Here he got the ball and was making a crazy-fast run down the court. Exciting! The final score was 25-26 Brandon's team won. He was doubly pleased that his basket made such a difference.

Megan's game was next. She's been making baskets during practice, but during the games she gets very distracted. She likes playing with the girl guarding her ;) and turning in circles ;) But not yesterday! There was some amazing focus going on!
 And guess what? She got her first basket yesterday too! I think they entire room cheered. That was pretty funny. The picture above is a picture of her making her basket but you can't see her! She's on the other side of all those girls. But that's her ball going in!

She didn't make this shot but it's a better picture of her ;)
 Check out her dribbling skills!
Nick's game was last. He also hadn't made a basket during a game. Talk about pressure! At this point we were 2/3 for kids getting their first game point, now it was Nick's game. And he did it!
 The above picture was it snapped a second too soon. The below picture was a good attempt but didn't quite make it.

I still like it :)

So it was a very exciting day for us! 3/3 kids getting their first game point in basketball! They all worked so hard this year and improved so much. It was the perfect way to end the basketball season :)
