NGF and Basketball

For Christmas Adam got a set of Nerf guns and every since then they have changed how we play everything!! Marc and the boys were playing a Nerf gun version of hide and go seek and decided we needed more space. So, we called another family that has kids the same age and sex as ours and met them up that the church building for NGF (Nerf Gun Fight) It was a blast and we are now going to start a weekly date of NGF!! It is fun for the WHOLE family...that's right parents play too! We have a flag that lights up that we can find in the dark, we play hide and go seek, and the kids love to play against the parents. I'm sure there will be more blogs about this coming soon!!!

Here is a picture of the boys before we began the night! I told them to scare me...the Spence boys did...my boys? not really sure what they were going for :)
The girls enjoyed mixing it up as well! They didn't really stick to the rules, they had their own "Shoot the boys!" Worked for me :)
Saturday we started our 6 week stretch of Basketball!! The boys were really excited! Here is Kate, Krimson, Jude, and Brodie waiting for Adam and Jonathan's first game to start!
Marc is coaching both of the boys teams and they both have orange jerseys! Adam's team is really good and I'm excited to see how they do this season! Adam got lots of steals and was quick on his feet. He scored in all the games today and in the last (short) game he had the only points!

In between games Terry Slawson goes over the scripture for the season with the kids! I love how he always brings us back to what really matters!
We were at Seeker Springs ALL day Saturday (7:30 am till about 2pm). So, Eden got a little tired by the end. Krimson and she did great cheering on the boys and being patient!
We played on the play ground outside during the break between Adam and Jude's games!
Here is Marc talking with Jude's team! Jude is the only player that has played basketball before. Needless to say it will be a hard season. Jude was the only player that scored for his team all day. Marc did a good job being patient and helping with the basics like dribbling and going the right direction! This age always provides LOTS of entertainment!

This Saturday was a fun day at the gym. They had shooting contest, dribbling contest, and running contest. They also had the coaches shoot baskets and if they didn't make all of them their team got to pick out a funny wig for they to wear! Well, as you can see Marc didn't make all of his shots and this is the wig he got to wear! The kids all thought it was really funny (except Adam...he didn't like the girl looking wig). Krimson really loved that it was purple!!
We are looking forward to more games and lots of fun! Go Orange Teams!!! (I think Adam's team is calling themselves the sharks and Jude's team is calling themselves the bobcats!)
