BAM JAMMIN' the Downers

The week has been a full one, capped off with a visit from Mike, Tiina and their kids; as well as a downtown three on three tournament in Boise. There is no better time than piling six kids into two cars to roll in to Boise for some hoops.

Friday night, Ryan played the first two games the tournament. They eventually played a total of six games, continuing into Saturday, to place third over-all in the 4th grade (he's playing up) bracket. I was honored to be the coach of Team Uprise.

(VERY dangerous)

Following Friday night's games, we collectively turned our kids loose to terrorize Boise downtown. We had a great time walking to the town square which is better known as "The Grove," where we landed in the Brick Oven Bistro; the kids had root beer floats and the adults ate too much dessert.

It has been a treat to host the Downers' visiting Boise, who are visiting for a wedding in Tiina's family. The kids have effectively paired off (as have the adults) and it has been fun playing and fellowshipping for everyone.
