Saturday was a beautiful day... dry... very little wind action. Great. We made the decision that we would go as a family to what my youngest son calls the "blue" park and shoot some hoops. My blonde son is on the basketball team at the Middle School and since this is his first season ever playing the game... we are trying to be supportive and give him extra practice/playing time so that he can build up his confidence.
We are so not the smartest people in the world.....
My husband, my son, our neighbor and myself all began a "nice, easy" game of two-on-two. Sounds great doesn't it??
Picture if you will... two full grown horribly out of shape men and one teenager who could use a few less triple decker sandwiches battling over a smelly orange ball. There was so much huffing and puffing it was amazing to hear. Grunts and groans galore... the funniest was that all of the adults go to the gym several times a week and are in "shape". HaHaHa.
How did I do... you might ask....
Well... if you remember the fact that I am currently knocked-up... you might see the obvious reason why I should not have played... but as I said before we are not the smartest... I did my best to jostle the ball and pretend to shoot once in a while. I spent most of the time being mauled to death by my son's sharp elbows and wetting myself. I hurt in areas I did not know I had.
It was great! I think we played to 10 and then had to have a break that is still in effect... probably forever.
