Basketball

A few months ago, I signed the girls up for Basketball at their school. Then, I forgot all about it with all of the madness that has been going on in our lives. They brought notes home last Friday with all of the information and that is when I remembered. They were SO mad that I had signed them up and DID NOT want to go. They complained all morning before we left (and there were a few tears as well).
The picture below shows just how excited Saige was. I kept trying to get her to smile for a picture and that is the look I got every time!
They were excited to know that they were on Brynn's team.
They all got t-shirts and balls.
Running Drills.
The guy in charge was cracking me up. He was telling the coaches that it is crucial they don't develop bad habits and that they are passing and shooting with perfect form. He reminded me SO much of Leland (only those from Dear Old Piute High will understand).
I think he forgot that these kids are in Kindergarten. I was just hoping that no one got hit in the face!
At the end of the day, the girls LOVED every minute of it. I was SO happy. They both came home and wanted to keep practicing and kept asking when they get to do it again. Of course, they now want to dribble the balls in the house all of the time. I know now why my mom hated that!

I am glad they ended up liking it! Tell them Aunt Kels wants them to keep up the practicing so next time we see each other we can play.
