Basketball - Family Style

Basketball Video taken by Rowen from the garage roof on 10/1/08

We enjoyed playing basketball together tonight (9/30) and last night (9/29).

Last night Jeff and I only got in on the last 10 minutes, but we were all there the whole time tonight.

We began with warmup-everyone shooting randomly from all places to get prepared.

Then we played a new version of "Around the World": We marked 16 places on the cement, stood in every-other place (there's 6 of us, but we adjusted the every-other-person as necessary). Each of us would shoot twice from whichever number we were on - if we missed we had a mercy extra 1 or 2. After everyone shot twice from their spots, we rotated. We did this almost all of the way around the driveway.

Then we started playing a real game. Dad, Mother, and Jeff, against Jason, Emily, and I. It was a hard fought game. Both teams were good... but the younger beat 22-16!
Through this basketball playing we accomplished several things: exercise, enjoying each other's company, and winning (whether in attitude, or in points, or both.)

WE HAD FUN!
