For the last year and a half Ben has been asking to play basketball. This summer he attended a basketball themed Vacation Bible School at Lake City Church and LOVED it! This winter we signed him up for Upward basketball through Door Creek Church. It is a league of kids from 1st-6th grade who are learning to play basketball. Each practice and game focuses on teaching the kids about the sport and also having a lesson tied to it. They learn the sport, teamwork, and it is God focused.
Today was Ben's 4th basketball game. He is getting better at getting the ball, passing, and today he made his first basket! We are so proud of him. He shot the last basket of the game. Even though they don't keep score, one of the parents (who obviously was keeping count) said that Ben made the winning shot! He was so proud of himself for shooting and making his very first basket. Unfortunately I missed getting a picture of him shooting the basket, but I did get a shot of him right before he threw it...
