B-Ball

So the boys are playing basketball this summer. I was pretty dubious, but it's been fun. The rules are very relaxed, and everyone has a good time. At the last game, both boys scored. Plus, it's air conditioned, and at this point, with record heat in Houston, you can't get much better than that.

Pass it to me bro

Charlie making a not-nearly-as-fast-as-it-looks break

Last week's game was the perfect opportunity to play with the new flip video camera. The first clip shows Joseph throwing the ball in to Charlie, and Charlie dribbling down court. The second clip shows Joe looking for the ball (never mind the part where he covers his head instead of going for the rebound). The third clip shows off Charlie's persistence (which, unfortunately, is not rewarded) and Joseph "stealing" the ball. The next clip (look quickly!) is Joseph's basket. The next clip is Charlie dribbling down, shooting, and getting his own rebound. The next one shows Joseph running all around the court and making his defender work. The last clip is Charlie's basket.

Clearly, you can see that there are very few calls made by the referee in these games. Still, I think they are doing pretty well! These are my progeny, and they are playing sports! And, did I mention the air conditioning?
