Basketball

M decided he wanted to play basketball again this year, so we signed up for Upward at our church and off we went!

The boys took a few weeks to warm up to each other - they had some really good games and they had some games that we wondered if they even showed up.  :)

One of the really neat things they did this year was set up a tournament for the 5th and 6th grade teams.  At the end of the season, they played several games in a week.  The boys really came together during this time and played amazingly well.  It was so much fun to watch them play!  They won their first three games, but lost their last game by 1.  They boys were heartbroken and tears flowed, but I have never seen boys that age play so hard and leave their hearts on the court.  They had two amazing coaches that really encouraged them to grow as basketball players as well as godly young men.  We were very blessed!

Here are a few pictures from the year:
