Giant Gazing!

On Saturday we went to the Marion Giants semi-state game. I spent much of the game watching my eight year old interact with his friends and cheer on the team. It was the first game that I let him sit with his friends...I was quite skeptical that they would actually sit still and watch the game. Much to my amazement, their eyes were glued to the court. I was so very proud that he had chosen such nice friends consisting of four boys and three girls. Once the game was over, the crowd rushed the floor including his friends. I could see him standing at the end of the court trying to decide if he should go or not... he is quite the rule follower. (o: After a minute of watching the celebration, he decided that whatever trouble he might get in, would be worth it and so he joined the fun! Here is a picture that was on the Chronicle web page...Look bottom right corner...can you see the look of adoration as he gazes at the big Marion Giant?
