Basketball!

We have been wanting a basketball hoop for a while and have just been waiting for the weather to be nice so we could buy it.  We went to Walmart and Target who were both sold out, but we found this one at Big 5.  Ben and Brandon put it together (with a few helpful suggestions from me).
Ben did not want to fill the base with water so he went and bought 400lbs. of sand.  It took us a while to get the hang of it, but the last 5 bags or so went really fast.  It was really heavy and we could barely get it where we wanted it.
We spent most of the day Sunday playing outside (except for Sara who was not feeling good).
We had to get a hoop with a shatterproof backboard so Ben could dunk!
Sophie loves playing basketball too!  We are loving this and we hope the weather stays nice so we can be outside a lot this year.
