Upward Basketball Game

Alyssa is playing Upward Basketball at our church. Last week was their first game and it was pretty scary! They had only practiced twice and were all pretty clueless as to what they were supposed to be doing. This week, they were a different team! Alyssa was AWESOME! She scored 7 baskets (of about 10 total their team scored). We were incredibly proud of her. I think this may just be her sport! Some of the pictures came out pretty dark for some reason, but if you click on them, they will show up bigger.
Carson comes each week dressed in basketball clothes! He is so cute! He came with his very own basketball today that he would not let go of...well, except for him thinking it was cute to throw it and have someone pick it up for him! He was so good. He set still and watched intently!
Here is proud Poppie with Carson!

Here she is about to go in for the rebound.
One tired girl! All of the kids get equal playing time. They only have 6 girls and they each sit out one of the 6 periods of the game.
Here she is dribbling down the court.
When the other team would make a shot, Alyssa kept forgetting she was supposed to throw the ball in and she would start running to the other side of the court.
Here is Alyssa after the game. Carson just loves her so much! He wanted to go straight to her once the game was over!
