The Last of Basketball

We finished the basketball season this past

week. It was a fun time, but I'm glad to

have some more time at home now!

We had beautiful weather this past couple days

and got outside to ride bikes and play

baseball at the park.

(Mom and Dad lost 4 to 8.)

Alex and his friend from church were on the

same team together-The Cavaliers!

Pop-pop and Nana were the best fans

of the season! They made it to almost

all the boys games, I think!!

We SO appreciate their faithful support,

especially since it is a 40 minute

drive each way.

Upward had a night to go to the the Blazer's game

as a group. After the game the kids were able

to go down on the court and shoot from the

free throw line. (Michael, Alex and Josh

all missed-oh the pressure!)

Alex and Josh with the Blazer mascot!

(Whatever he is!? We've never figured it out.)

Michael enjoyed help from Ehren this season.
He helped every week at practice and
at the games! (Ehren is Connor's dad. Connor
was on Josh's team with him this year.)


The awards night for basketball included a speaker
who did a great job sharing with the
kids through his "dummy" and his tricks
of illusion. It was a fun night, where each
kid got an Upward backpack and had
their name announced by their coach as
they went across the stage!
