Basketball

This year we decided to try out basketball!  Madelyn was super pumped to play and so was Matt!  I on the other hand was pretty certain that this would end up a total flop and boy was I wrong.  Madelyn loved going to practice and games.  She listens so well to her coaches including Matt and tries to do exactly what they say to do.  It was so fun to watch her grow and learn a sport we all love to watch.

She got pretty good at throwing the ball in to her teammates.

Our girl can hustle!!  The coaches would tell them which player on the other team to guard on defense and she would often find that person and race them down the floor.  Sometimes you'd even see a little "leap" step in that run (such a girl!)

I love this picture, two blonde girls trying to guard each other!

Throw it to me!!  But they didn't, ever, throw it to the girls.  Not one single time did the boys on our team throw the ball to a girl on our team!  Pretty disappointing to the parents but the girls didn't seem to mind too much.  Next year we will probably look for an all girls team to play on.  We are just so glad she really enjoyed it.
