Our Saturday started out with Brody's first Upwards game. Let's just say 10 5 & 6 year olds on the court is total chaos and so much fun to watch. Most of these kids have never played before and have really no clue what to do. They have a 30 minute practice before the game and then it's game time.
We were really nervous on how Brody would be on the court - if the ball hit him, would he run from contact, would he be too aggressive or not aggressive enough. I am very happy to say Brody did GREAT!!! They play man to man and Brody actually took the ball from his guy several times and ran down the court to shoot. Jason had to tell him he needed to pass the ball to the other players.

We were very happy with how he played and couldn't have asked for anything better. Let's just hope it continues.
Since the game was early in the morning we decided to drive to Ft Clinch and go bike riding. The boys were pretty excited about our trip, but we weren't too sure how long Brody would be able to ride. Thank goodness the weather was absolutely beautiful. Here's my view on our way to the pier.
We parked at the fort and rode to the pier. However, we left the bike lock in the truck so Jason had to stay back with the bikes while we walked the pier. I loved watching the boys having such a good time and I can't wait until we get to go again.

Trevor was having so much fun, this is how we found him when we arrived back to the fort.
The motivation for Brody to ride back was that he could play on the playground. The first slide down and this is what we had.
They had a blast on the playground since there were really no other kids there.
We left the fort around 3:45 and headed home. Brody was asleep immediately and I really thought Trevor would too, but it begged for my phone for about 20 minutes and finally fell asleep 5 minutes from the house. Mom and I had already decided to head down to St Augustine that evening, so we decided to transport him to my car and just leave then. He cried for about 5 minutes and then was out the entire trip down there. And thankfully he woke up in a great mood and was a great shopper with us that night.
