Riley and Daddy Dean

Riley can be goofy. Dean can be goofy and so can Noah. Here is a camera roll of goofy behavior following the Y-ball game.

Riley & basketball

Riley's Y-ball program ended this weekend. She learned numerous basketball skills and had fun. In the beginning, she was very focused on one skill at a time. If she was told to guard a certain player, she focused 100% of her energy on the task. However, as the weeks passed, she learned to guard a player and pay attention to a potential pass from another player. One thing we know about Riley...she loves to dribble the basketball. She started this past summer dribbling on the driveway. She definitely excelled at the skill of dribbling. After cheering for Noah's basketball team weekend after weekend, she was thrilled to be the center of attention on the court.

All good things come to an end

Basketball has been an enjoyable ride this winter. Because the temperatures in northeast Wisconsin have been so frigid, spending time outside has been miserable. So, the opportunity to watch third grade boys play basketball on weekends helped make winter bearable. This area of the country set a record for most consecutive days in row with below zero temperatures. I think the record was approximately 50 days in a row below zero. Brrrr. 

Throughout January, February and early March, the boys came in third place in three different tournaments. The adrenaline is already pumping for next season, but we need a bit of warm weather before we can mentally tackle another basketball season.
