Both boys have been playing in the summer basketball leagues for Barron this summer. I have been having so much fun being back in the gym watching my boys play my FAVORITE sport! The drawback to summer basketball, however, is the lack of air conditioning in most of the area gymnasiums.
F.Y.I.:
Hot, sweltering gyms plus sweaty, adolescent boys equals a stench beyond belief!
~~~
In spite of the overwhelming odor, watching the boys play in their various summer leagues has been a blast!

Andrew has been playing in the Rice Lake Wednesday night J.V. League. (This does not necessarily mean he will be playing J.V. when the season starts, but we don't have a C-Team summer league...) The boys have been having a GREAT time playing together and just having fun pounding the ball up and down the court. Andrew plays his last summer game this Wednesday...

Here is Andrew bringing the ball up the court...

Austin has been playing in the Clayton Varsity League--also on Wednesday nights. His team has also played in a few tournaments in Bloomer, Cameron, and just last weekend in Rice Lake. This has been great experience for their team to get used to playing with each other. They have won more games than they have lost--but Cumberland has been a thorn in their side this summer! Barron won the Cameron Shootout Tournament, and they only lost one game last weekend in Rice Lake. (Grandma Pat and Grandpa Ken came to watch that one...)
Austin's team does have one more Wednesday night game, also, but he will miss that game, as he will be working at the Barron County Fair to earn some CA$H that night and through the weekend!
~~~
Here is Austin playing the awesome defense he is known for...
~~~
D-ing up!

The little sister "gets" to come with me to watch all of the games her brothers play in during the summer. She LOVES sitting on the bleachers watching the boys run the court, sweat all over, and stink up the whole gym. You can see the appreciation written all over her face...
~~~
She's a pretty good sport most of the time!
