Basketball Hoop

Back in December I found a really good deal on a basketball hoop.  We bought it with the intention of giving it to the kids for Christmas, but we ended up with way too much stuff, so we decided to save it.  We pulled it out this morning and surprised the kids.  It was awesome to see how excited they were!  They both helped us put it together... for the first half hour or so... then they went to do other things.  

Ben went over to Katie Sykes house to knit with her (he learned in her school class last year and has been asking to do more ever since!).  Emma went for a scooter ride around the block and ended up playing with a Fynlee B. for most of the morning.

 Ben came back to help just as we were finishing up.  He loved getting to pull the plastic off the backboard!

We pulled out the other basketball I'd bought and we all played basketball for a bit.  It's going to be a great family activity for us!

We ended up heading in to Lethbridge in the afternoon to get stuff for our Easter dinner tomorrow (with a few extra things for us...).

As soon as we got home and everything unloaded, we were back shooting hoops!  It's been a great day!
