Basketball Buddies

aj, holly and chase have moved back! we are really excited to have them here full time. visits are fine and all but way too infrequent. they haven't lived here since we moved here, so it's been at least 4 years. obviously, things have changed since then. specifically, the two littlest amadas arrived. their fathers were pretty close growing up, so we are hoping these little ones will be too. chase came over to hang out with us for a few hours this morning and we had tons of fun!

chase and roman

they started out the day playing with trains

then they moved on to what else? basketball, of course roman is showing chase how to shoot it..."bend your knees, like this"
"and then..."
"you shoot it!"
now, it's chase's turn

then, outside to ride bikes.

(yes, my kid is wearing an eagles helmet. we don't have enough bike helmets. don't judge.) they had their lunch outside before holly came to pick chase up.
good times were had by all. and, i'm sure they will continue.
