Friday night was our school's Elementary Basketball Night. Since Josh is in a sports program at school called Little Warriors he chose basketball as his "First Look" sport. This means that he got to spend the game with the Varsity basketball team. He was with them before the game in the team room. He got to give high fives to all the players as they ran out onto the court.
(excuse my horrible pics, time for a new camera)
He got to stand with the team as the National Anthem was sang. Boy Scouts from our school presented the flags, including one sweet boy from my class.
During warm up time the boys all got to sit in the player seats.
After the first quarter, they all got to go up to the Athletic offices, have a snack and watch part of the game from the windows overlooking the basketball court. This pic is of Josh in the window.
At halftime the Jr. Cheer performed. Two girls in my class were preforming and they all were so cute!
Josh had so much fun and keeps saying he wants to go to the next basketball game. It was especially cool because our school is where Mike went to and graduated from. This is the same gym that Mike played varsity basketball in. It is pretty cool to come back and have it be for your kid's events.
Jason had fun in the stands watching the game with us. He wanted to go on the court and play with the players so bad.
At one point the ball was being taken out right in front of us and the ref let Jason hold the ball while the players got situated. That was the coolest thing ever for him.
When I get overwhelmed with teaching full time and being a mommy, it is times like these that make it all worth it. The boys would not be able to attend this amazing school if I wasn't working there. So seeing them experience things like Josh's "First Look" into his favorite sport and on top of it being all Christ centered makes it worth it.
Fun night!
