Basketball Games

 It was a jam packed Saturday as we headed to Denver about 7:30am!  The nice thing is:  no stop and go traffic!  We headed to the Keppy's place - Jessi and Evan were working so we followed Gary, Gwyn and Kenzie to the basketball court for a game!  Gary is the coach for this team of 5 and 6 year olds - and he has another coach to help him, along with Evan if he's free!

Doesn't Gwyn look cute?  She even chose #8, my favorite number!

The only practice they get to have is 1/2 hour before the game!

Yes, Gwyn is the tallest - the other little ones look like they are preschoolers compared to her!  Unfortunately the other coach didn't show up and Evan was working with Jessi so poor Gary had to coach alone - the coaching went fine and he did a great job but the hard part is the equal playing time AND the wrist bands that they had to keep changing every time they subbed!    It was hilarious to watch the game as these little ones don't seem to know a lot about it yet - they sure did try though and it was fun to watch Gwyn play!

After the game, we stopped at Chick fil a to get a bite to eat on the road to Ft. Collins - I was totally impressed with this place (we rarely are in Co. Springs to eat at the one there).  We drove through the drive thru and a guy took our order and payment and not even 60 seconds later we were handed our meal - and it was VERY good!!

We made it to Ft. Collins in good time and got ready to head to Parker's game!

He went on into the game to practice (the actual court is in a mall - I know, strange!!) so we walked around a little bit to see the decorations and stepped outside by the ice skating rink!  I saw this moose and knew I had to have pictures!!

Then it was back inside to watch the game!  Parker did a great job and even made 2 baskets!!  Yay Parker!

He played well and it was easy to see how much he had improved from 2 years ago when we last saw him play!  They didn't win but still played great!

Back to Jill's where we got ready to head BACK to Denver to go to the parade - Jill, Aleah and Parker also came down in their car so we had a great showing!!  More on that to come.....
