Nary a day goes by without our having to be somewhere cheering on someone.
Over the last week we attended two of Bret Jr.'s basketball games. Unfortunately, neither of the games played by our Sturgeon Bay Clippers was at home.
First, the Clippers visited Algoma - which is on about 40 minutes southwest of where we live. The next day Bret's team played Gibraltar - which is about 40 minutes northeast of where we live. It's a good thing I've got great winter tires on my car.
Bret loved playing football, but wasn't so sure about basketball. After a few games, he's sure he loves it now...
Bret's still working on improving his shot...
But he's one of his team's best defensive players. Here he is about to slap out the ball from an unsuspecting player...
I think he just imagines the ball is the head of one of his sisters and he just tries to smack it as cleanly as possible.
Bret also does a good job using his body and bulk to muscle himself into position to grab rebounds...
I like this next picture because it shows how he's willing to throw his body into the mess to get the rebound (or just push out a few of the other guys so one of his guys can get the ball!)...
The way he chases it, you'd think that the basketball was filled with chocolate donuts.
This next one is far too blurry a picture, but watch my son leave his feet and reach for the ball!
During his last game I witnessed something I've never seen before at a basketball game. The ball got caught on the back rim of the basket...
Look closely at the picture below. The ball isn't jammed between the rim and the backboard - we've all seen that on occasion.
The ball is just sitting there on the back of the rim. The shot just barely hit the rim and spun around it until the ball came to a complete stop...
The whole crowd broke into laughter!
We also had the chance to watch Nalani in her ballet and tap dancing class this week...
It wasn't a recital (that happens in spring), but it was a chance for us parents to watch one of their rehearsals. They normally ask the parents to wait outside during rehearsals because having us in the room apparently is too disruptive.
Me, disruptive?
Anyway, here she is little Miss Nalani - in the center of the front row, naturally...
From basketbal to ballet...
Just another week in the Bicoy household.
