Intro to Basketball


The kids were formally introduced to two things today - basketball and Calvin College!  We took them to see Calvin's men's basketball team play at Calvin.  Preparing to head out the door, it was mentioned that if the kids lasted until halftime it would be considered a successful outing.  This was, after all, their first time actually going to a basketball game.  Not only did they last until halftime, but they made it through the entire game!  They both did so well!  Faith was getting into it, and Shane cheered well, although he sometimes cheered when the opposing team made a basket!  He just loved to see the ball go through the hoop.  He also loved to see the Knight mascot!  Even with how well they each did, when asking what their favorite part of the game was, they both mentioned seeing boys climb on the indoor climbing wall in the gym complex!  This just may be the start of things as they both mentioned wanting to go again to watch basketball, and Faith was practicing her dribbling skills in Grandpa and Grandma's basement tonight!  If either of the kids go on to play basketball at Calvin, we'll point to this introduction as being influential!!
