Basketball

This winter Allee played basketball.  It was by far the funnest thing to watch EVER!  All these girls learning how to dribble, how to shoot, and how to shuffle their feet across the court.  Allee wasn't so sure if she liked playing but by the final two games, she decided it wasn't to bad and wants to play again next year.  Some of my fevorite memories of her season were the first time she got the ball, she just took off running.  No dribbling, just running.  The last game she was so excited when she got the ball right before half time that she dribbled up the court the wrong way.  Derek and I were yelling for her to turn around.  Her team went undefeated with the exception of a tie.  That game was quite the experience. The stands were packed fans were cheering so loud, the coach was jumping up and down every time one of our girls took a shot.  Derek and the other dads were pacing the sidelines.  It was absolutely hillarious!  With only about 10 seconds left and the game tied up, Allee's coach called all the girls in and even drew up a play for them.  He was an awesome coach and we were constantly impressed with how he worked with all these 7 & 8 year old girls. 
We are so proud of Allee for trying something new and working hard to get better at it!
