BASKETBALL

As many of you may know, our family enjoys sports of all kinds. We did get to go see the season opener of the Edinburgh Capitals last Sunday night and we all had a grand time. You should have seen Jacob's face as soon as we sat down and the players came onto the ice with all the cheers and music....it was pricelss. I don't think his eyes nor his smile could have been bigger! Alexander and Benjamin were the professional commentators telling us all what happens as they went to a couple games last season. Hannah sat there enjoying the game but was more interested in what snacks I took with me. It was great to be able to spend an exciting night out with the whole family. Unfortunately, the battery for the camera had died and try as I might to take a picture, it just wouldn't cooperate....I guess we will have to go to another game just so we can take some pictures.
So today we had a great basketball game after school. The children all got dressed up in their muscle shirts....cause that's what real basketball players wear....and, of course, I had to take their pictures first! So without further ado, here are the basketball players:

Here is the team

Benjamin's closeup....they are all having a bit of difficulty lately with smiling "normally" when I want to take a picture. Whenever I say, "smile normally", they say "I am!!"

And Alexander's pose

I just found out how to add video to the blog so you can all now have fun figuring out how to play the video! So here is a little snippet of the big game...actually, this was practice time before the game began. Enjoy!
