The Purple Unicorns

Every year Jimmer Fredette puts on a 3-on-3 tournament at the Provo Rec Center.  Jonah has wanted to do it, but it has never worked out.  He was excited that he found three friends to do it with this year.  They had to pick a team name and they picked Purple Unicorns.  Jonah said it was to make people think they weren't very good and then they would be surprised with how good they were.

Keith and I picked up the boys and spent the morning watching them play.  I think they went in a little too confident.  They are all good players, so I was pretty confident too.

I couldn't believe how many good players there were!  All of the teams were so good and some of them were so tall!  Look at number 99 next to Jonah, he looked like he could have been Jonah's dad.  I know he was only thirteen though, because we had to show birth certificates.  Crazy! The boys played hard and held their own with this team, but they ended up losing both pool play games.

Jimmer came before the play off games started.  He showed them some of his warm up drills and had a shooting contest with some of the kids.  The Purple Unicorns went down in the first round of the playoffs.  They had a lot of fun though.  I'm glad Jonah finally got to participate.

Yesterday we took the scouts to Fat Cats to bowl.  They were having a work party so all of the lanes were full so we played pool instead.  We brought Hallee and Wyatt along because they wanted to bowl.  

Keith and Wyatt played a game while Ben and McKay played next to them.  Hallee and I just watched and cheered them on.
