Go Jazz!

For the past few years, Mike's company gets to have a kid's basketball clinic with a Jazz player. This year, they were lucky to be on the actual Delta Center court! (I know it's a different name now, but it will always be the Delta Center to me)
Mike spent FHE with the kids teaching them some basics so they would be prepared for the big day. They had a great time and didn't want to stop playing bball with their Dad!
They started with some warm-ups. Amanda is in the black pants with pink stripes, Sydney is right next to her in the brown pants. (Brandon was too young to participate, but did get a shirt, picture and autograph from CJ).
Their Jazz player was CJ Miles and Mike said he was really cute with the kids. (I had to miss it because I was teaching). Amanda got a high five from CJ because she's left-handed like him!

Sydney waiting her turn to try a lay-up...Sydney had a killer cold, but still wanted to go. She did great!Look at little Syd under that TALL basket!Sydney doing more drills (she's on the left with her back to us). Amanda's lay-up attempt

Sydney's free-throw. She said there is a nail on the floor that the players line up to shoot the basket and CJ showed it to the kids.

That was fun!
Picture Time!
Brandon got to have his picture taken!

Our cute kiddos on a NBA Basketball Court! Thanks, Baileys!

Syd looks so little on that full-size court - that is such a cool thing to do and CJ seems like a big teddy bear. Fun that Bailey's does that - I'm surprised Mike didn't do the clinic with the kids - he would have fit right in! :)
