The big kids don't have much homework as the school year winds down . . .
. . . so this afternoon we headed to a local park to play.
Joy brought along her birthday basketballs so she could practice shooting free throws.
Her newfound interest in basketball is rubbing off on the rest of the family too. Daniel practiced shooting a few hoops of his own . . .
. . . then he went over to the playground while the girls and I played Champ Ball, a popular game at their school. Two contestants start out at the free throw line, each holding a basketball. They tap their balls together three times, then shoot and try to make a basket. If neither player makes their first shot, they rush to retrieve their balls and repeatedly shoot from any place they want to until one of them makes a basket. Whoever makes a basket first gets to keep playing against the next person in line. It's a fun game, and Joy and I are pretty evenly matched. Anna rarely made a basket, but we always cheered for her when she did.
After many rounds of Champ Ball, we headed over to the playground to make sure gravity was still working before we drove home.
