The game itself was not unlike soccer last spring-- a bunch of kids just chasing the ball from goal to goal. The coaches kept yelling things like, "Pass!" and "Defense!", to which most of the kids just put their arms up. It was pretty cute. The best thing about 1st grade basketball is that there are no fouls (the kids aren't malicious enough to try to foul each other yet anyway), very lenient boundaries, everyone gets to play, and no one (except Thomas) keeps score.
Go Jazz #22!
After the game, we took the kids to Casper's Ice Cream in Providence. It's a newer place and I hadn't been before-- very nice. Of course, my boys ordered blue bubblegum, which tastes surprisingly like Pepto Bismal. Yum.

Maybe Tom could teach Carlos Boozer his skipping down the court technique. Very effective! (and cute!)
CUTE!!! Haha I love that Tom's playing basketball. I definitely want to come to a game sometime. See you this weekend!
okay Elise--I'll give you a warning since your children are young enough that they might still need a little help wiping. The blue bubblegum ice cream will make their poopies blue. So don't worry when you see this, they are not dying. Tell them that too so they don't freak out :)!
I need to post a photo of Chris when he played junior jazz. Jazzy!!
Ahh! That icecream looks delicious! Owen loved watching Thomas on the court. How fun!
Go Junior Jazz! I feel compelled to defend the blue bubblegum ice cream because it is one of my favorite flavors. Mike thinks I am crazy, but I think it is fabulous!
todd played junior jazz, too! i am really excited for the sports day with my little troupe of terrors!
How cute. I think I was even more awkward than that when I played Junior Jazz. In fact, one time I passed the ball to the referee. I was so embarrassed!
LAUGHING-laughing over Jennifers post.
He looks so cute in his basketball shorts. That ice cream looks yummy:)
