Bentley and Basketball


Bentley is a bit obsessed with basketball lately.  We were recently gifted a full size hoop from family friends, so now we have the toddler size and the full size (not at its full height!) opposite each other for twice the fun.  With the higher hoop Bentley has been enjoying basketball quite a bit.  I counted for him the other day (at his request!) and he made 19 scores in 5 minutes!  

He has his Dad outside playing horse with him every night.  He'd be happy to play for hours, and hours, and hours... :).   Apparently he's pretty good.  Matt taught him some tricks, and now Bentley is busy instructing Dad.  What a lucky Dad!  

Isn't all that green beautiful?  Summer is nice!

Notice the lovely badminton net in the edge of the picture.  That's because our hoop is currently against a hill, and the net catches the ball instead of it rolling all the way down the hill when a shot misses the hoop or backboard.  Clever Grandma, right?!
