Caden's First Basketball Game



It was a little cold out this morning but he was so excited!

Today Caden had his first basketball game. His team is called The Leopards! We signed him up for a basketball league called Upward.  It's a Christian athletic group and they meet at chuches to play. This church is 5 minutes from our house so perfect distance for an 8:30am game. Caden has been wanting to play since last year but we thought 3 was a little young. He had a blast! His team also won. He's not able to make a basket yet but hopefully as the season goes on, he'll be able to. All of the 6 year olds on his team made a basket. 4 of his friends from church are on his team - Kaison, Carson, Jacob, and Ben. I'm so glad there are so many sweet boys (and girls) who go to church with us. It's been a hard adjustment from living in Germany and we were so sad not to attend where we went before we moved overseas.  There are 8 kids on his team which is a good number to have.



Caden did great for his first game. He showed compassion to his friend who ws having a hard time. He listened well to his coaches. And most importantly he had a great time.

 

Here are some pictures from the game. These were taken with my cell phone so sometimes the kids moved a little too fast for my camera.

When we got home later this afternoon we saw our neighbors and their son out riding his bike. Caden wanted to ride too so we walked while the kids road their bikes. We found out his friend, Aiden, is 10 days younger than Caden. I didn't know they were so close in age. This summer will be fun when we're able to go to our neighborhood pool again. We have some really nice kids who live in our neighborhood and it's neat to have a place where they can meet and play.
