Sports this Weekend

It was a busy sports weekend for our kids. Saturday morning, Nathan started basketball games. Please notice that he is the tallest kid on his team. He's almost as tall as the coach! He made his first point-a free throw-and his team won! I can't tell you how much better this rec program is than the one from before we moved. It is a whole different world! Nate's coach is wonderful...he encourages the kids to do their best while teaching them about the game of basketball. It was a lot of fun to watch.

That afternoon, we went over to Grammy's and watched the Raven's game. It was a really good game and the Raven's won. They move onto next week's AFC Championship game!

On Sunday, Claire's indoor soccer team played, but lost. She seemed to have fun anyway. It's really hard to get pictures because my flash doesn't flash far enough onto the "field" and all pictures turn out really dark. I'll try for some good ones next game.

Kaylyn, Danny and Collin played just after Claire. Unfortunately, they lost too. Sadly, it seems as if some of the coaches bring in already formed teams. We didn't know that, and their team, coached by Gary, is just a random group of kids that the facility put together. They're not bad, but they aren't on the same level as these teams that have played together before. Needless to say, they got beat, and beat BAD! The other team seemed to have travel kids and at least 3/4 of the team were Collin and Danny's size or BIGGER! It was a little demoralizing, but some days you just play a better team. We are hoping next week will be better.

Sunday night, we watched the Steeler's game. Nathan was thrilled that the Steelers won. It will be quite the showdown next week with the Steelers vs. Ravens. We aren't sure just how Nathan became a Steeleers fan other than Pap is. We put up with him because we have too! The rest of us are cheering for the Ravens. Either way, it'll be a fun game to watch next Sunday at 6:30.
