Logan had the last basketball game on Sat, and he tried to do his best. He did well defending but as usual not aggressive enough to get rebounds. He tried a few baskets and did not make them, but it was cute to see his facial reaction of the disappointment on a missed shot. In the afternoon, we met up with half of the team again at the Silver Creek Sportplex for the celebration party. Connor was always excited to tag along with all of Logan’s events. We chatted with the families for a little bit while the kids ran around playing with some games. Then everyone took a break to eat pizza. The boys enjoyed watching the hockey games during their dinner. After eating and after few more games, we decided to let the kids played at the bouncy house “open play”. All the kids, including Logan and Connor, were so excited that they ran straight into the area once they got their wristbands on. I was watching Connor’s whereabout closely as I did not want the same incidence that I had with Logan a couple of years ago. Fortunately Connor seemed quite efficient and I felt more relieved after watching him going through one of the bigger houses twice. But not long later, Connor ran fast from one end of the play area to the other to climb into a jumpy house. I was a bit behind so I was not certain which far one he was in. I walked around waiting and looking around for him. After a couple or a few minutes later, I started getting worried that it would be a Deja Vu. I called out for Connor a couple of times, but with the big airy room, the sound did not travel well. Connor finally came back out crying; he said he got nervous not seeing me and so he cried. He was very sad and sobbed for quite awhile until Stuart finally distracted him with a drink of water.
Logan and the rest of the kids played for a long time. Logan was mostly interested playing with the handballs there, and later he and his teammates chased each other all around the bouncy houses playing “tag ball”. The coach retrieved the kids at some point so he could give them their medals for the seasons. The kids were all proud. After another go in the bouncy houses, we had to round up the kids to go home.
