Sports!!

This spring, Dash was old enough to participate in the youth basketball camp.  Two days a week for a month, Dash spent an hour with 12 other third grade boys practicing basketball skills.  Brandan was the coach, so Colt got to go to all the practices as well.  (Look, its a volunteer position, there should be some benefit!)

At the last practice, the boys competed for the best scores in 6 different drills.  Dash won 4 of the drills and Colt took second in two and third in two of the six.  Colt wasn't an official competitor (although he most obviously was!), so he didn't win any prizes, but we expect big things out of him in a couple of years!

Tag doesn't waste time.  If he is at the gym, he's gonna shot some hoops.  Just another 8 feet and the ball might hit the rim! So close, buddy, so close.
 The boys also participated in the 2nd annual track challenge.  It was absolutely freezing with rain and wind, but they did great anyway.
