Straight Ballin'

So we were going to go for a bike ride tonight, just Dad and me, and I decided we should head up to the basketball courts with the basketball instead and do some dribbling and passing (I can't reach the hoop with the ball yet, it's too tall).

So here's some video of me getting all Chris Corchiani on the whole playground (google him, all time NCAA assists leader, NC State).

Then I started to try to get a little fancy with some attempts at the old behind the back dribble.

Rucker Park, I'm comin for ya.

Mae Soccer

Hey Fin, so what's Mae been up to? Okay, here's what... soccer. This is her first practice, when they didn't have a uniform for her yet.

A little dribbling, Dad's really pumped, she's loving it, and then...

... she completely lost interest. Lounging around on the ground for a few...

Her own snack break (which lasted about 15 of the 45-minute session)...

A miserable time on the parachute ride, etc. etc.

So wait, Fin, it probably got better the next week, right?

Well, only because she showed up in her sweet uni that looked like it was trying to eat her.

And then after 30 minutes of wandering around, she wanted to come see my practice, where she sat on the chair and cheered me on.

And by the by, there was a lot to cheer about when witnessing these skills. No, guys, that is not Landon Donovan taking that ball coast to coast.
