LEGO Heroica and First Basketball Game

Our house has a long time addiction to LEGOs.  So it was natural that we were going to buy the "board" games that LEGO developed called Heroica.  There are a few different sets that you can put together to make one large set, and you can make the game "board" into anything you want.  Owen and Chris really enjoy playing it.  In this picture, Owen has made a tower of bad guys that you battle during the game.


Owen wanted to play basketball again this year.  We were not too excited about it since last year was not the best experience for us, but since he wanted to we figured we would give it another chance.  This year there are only 1st and 2nd graders on the team (PreK and K are in a different league).  Chris is assisting this year, and Beki was looking forward to sitting in the bleachers, but she ended up running the scoreboard for this game (hence no video).






Owen played for two quarters (8 min each).  He didn't make any baskets during the game, but he made a few when we were warming up.  He is pretty good a dribbling and passing.  He didn't whine AT ALL the whole time (really impressed).  He seemed to have a good time too.  This year I hope will be better then last year.  Last year things were WAY too competitive for 4-7 year olds; when the parents are screaming at their kid to steal the ball from the PreK little girl because she isn't good a dribbling, things are not fun anymore.  There are a grand total of six games this year and everything will be done by mid-February.
