The boys have been playing basketball for the last few weeks. I always love it when they are involved in a sport as it gives them an outlet for all of their energy. The harder they run, the better right (although I haven't really noticed a lag in their energy afterward.) Hunter and Lincoln play on the same team and Palmer is on an older team, and of course Josh coaches both teams.
Basketball is an interesting sport. I think that it is an easy one for adults to play (I say this because I can play it, and that means it isn't too hard), but it is pretty difficult for these little guys to figure out. Even the basics of dribbling the ball is a stretch for their coordination. They do such a great job, but I can tell they get frustrated sometimes. But I really do think they have a good time playing. Above is Lincoln teasing they guy he was supposed to be guarding. I think it was somewhere along the lines of "na na na na na", and the other kid was loving it. They eventually both were focused by their coaches, but it was pretty funny to watch in the mean time.
Hunter is a lot younger than the other kids and he has come such a long way. He has the cutest run that just makes me laugh. It fits his personality perfectly.
This was when one of the kids was shooting foul shots and Lincoln was playing behind the key. He got some pretty good spins in.
During the younger boys' game (did I mention that they start at 8:00? Yes, this means we get up around 7:30 on SATURDAY mornings!) Palmer usually keeps McKay entertained.
Palmer's game is always a bit intense. These boys are ALL OVER THE PLACE!
I am so grateful for the boys getting to have these experiences in learning team work and to be a good sport. Not to mention the exercise that it gives them. We have one last game left in this season of basketball, and onto indoor soccer...
