The girls participated in their first-ever summer camp this
week. They attended basketball camp at the
high school where Hubby teaches, from 8:30 – 10:30, the first three days of
this week.
They were the smallest ones there, but that didn’t stop
their FUN. Daddy was there to watch
everything, and I got the highlights.
On Monday, they had to dribble the length of the court and
back. Hubby told me that B was the last
one to finish, and as she did so, all the other kids were chanting her name. How cute!
On Tuesday, they had a pick-up game. Hubby told me that the bigger kids weren’t
being very gracious with sharing the ball.
When A finally got a turn, he said she took off…forgetting the
dribbling…she RAN!
And after Day 2, my A told me, “Mommy, I had to reach up
really high to give the big kids a high five.”
HA!
The kiddos did a warm-up “shuffle”. The girls practiced SO hard to get it down…to
the point that that’s how they wanted to walk on Tuesday night…everywhere they
went.
On Wednesday, Baby A did the shuffle with the best of
them. Hubby said that Baby B took her
sweet, methodical time, the last one to finish, but she did not miss a
step. Hee hee!
For the last 45 minutes or so on Wednesday, I came to see
the girls in action. I got to see my A
being incredibly serious as she was guarded by a 10-year old boy.
(She told me that morning, “Mommy, the pictures you take of
me will be blurry, I’ll be running so fast.”
She was right!)

And then, when her drill was over and she saw me, she RAN to
me and LAUNCHED HERSELF into my arms.
And then I got to see my B doing a skills test. She was concentrating some kind of hard,
alternating a very serious look with a huge smile.
And every night when the girls told me about their day, I
had to smile at them calling the high school kiddos, “my coaches”.

Look how tiny they are against the other kids and they did so well! Great going girls
Oh I love seeing this, my girls played upward basketball for the first time this winter and they LOVED it. It was pretty entertaining to watch, too! My favorite was when they would forget to dribble, lol. And my family from Kentucky would agree with that sentiment...basketball is king there :)
I love that J's so active and I LOVE that the girls can share this with him.
Well done, A and B :)
Ha ha ha I had a good laugh at A running with the ball. Why dribble when you can just dash off ha ha ha ha
