Hoop Dreams!

Man, we have been waiting FOREVER to get our basketball hoop up!  First Mom and Dad tried to convince the county to let us put it at the end of the cul-de-sac, then they haggled back and forth over which one to buy.

Then Dad dug a hole almost all the way to China and had to wait forever for the cement to set and cure.  Then he got the hoop built but Mom wasn't strong enough to help him get the 500+lb deal lifted onto the bolts.

So... we called Uncle Smoke and he found some time to come out and put it up for us!  It's hard work to be so patient!

But it was worth it.  We LOVE the hoop and have been out almost every night shooting baskets.

B is working on his dribbling and really just likes to throw the ball into the road so he can yell for Mom, Dad and/or I to run out and fetch it for him.

Mom and Dad almost always get into physical alterations when they play.  Gross!

and Dad is pretty cool because he can dunk.  Okay the hoop is a little less than standard height, but we still let the old man feel cool.

Thanks Dad and Thanks Uncle Smoke for helping!
