BRACKETTOWN!

March 31st was the first night of Brackettown in Houston. This year, Houston hosted the Final 4 for NCAA basketball. And it just so happens that Daddy's favorite team, UCONN, was in the Final 4 this year, so we headed down to downtown Houston to have some basketball fun!! There were tons of games for the boys to play, and prizes to be won if enough games were played! There was free Powerade and lots and lots of basketball! It was a great time. (However, I will admit that the food was not only horrendous, but terribly expensive. If there is a next time, we will be bringing our own dinner! :) )
Photo 1: Eli, Daddy, and Brady on the floor to the entrance.

Photo 2: Eli, Daddy, and Brady in front of the University of Kentucky sign, although that isn't what we were getting a picture of. If you look high up in the corner, you will see the UCONN Husky. (And since I'm sure I won't remember years from now, UCONN did end up winning the national title!! YAY!)
Photo 3: Daddy, Eli, and Brady in front of the UCONN player.


Photo 4: There were lots of courts inside to play basketball. This was the first one we stopped at. Bill is on the far left, then Eli (in white) and Brady...all shooting hoops. Brady doesn't even get close to the rim right now, he just likes playing with the big boys.


Photo 5: Brady showing his mad dribbling skills.


Photo 6: Eli taking a Powerade break. With all that free Powerade, the boys were in heaven!


Photo 7: More shooting hoops...Eli and Brady.


Photo 8: Bill's dunking attempt...almost!


Photo 9: Eli as a UCONN player


Photo 10: UCONN Brady

Photo 12: Bill playing virtual basketball. He made the leader board, but got beat out in the end.


Photo 13: Bill, Eli, and Brady playing more basketball games


Photo 14: Brady hitting in the hockey puck.


Photo 15: Eli's hockey skills, he actually did pretty well for never having done it before!


Photo 16: Eli at the soccer station


Photo 17: Brady kicking the balls in the net


Photo 18: Brady running the football obstacle course.


Photo 19: Eli throwing the football


Photo 20: Brady hitting a home run! (well, not really, but he tried)


Photo 21: Eli's debut lacrosse goal


Photo 22: For playing all the games, both boys got a Final Four bag and Final Four hat. This is the best shot I could get, they were ready for some more and didn't want to stop for pictures! (Brady and Eli)


Photo 23: They had a celebrity basketball shooting contest and Eli and Brady were both chosen to get front row seats. You can see little Brady with Eli next to him in the center of this shot. I cannot remember the players names who played, but they ended up playing "HORSE" and it was taking FOREVER! So we only stayed a little while.


Photo 24: Eli with his front row seat.


Photo 25: Brady isn't too impressed. "Can we go yet, Dad?"


Photo 26: GO UCONN!!


Photo 27: Brady and Bill walking back to the car with downtown Houston in the background. What a great night!


Photo 28: Brady and Eli's "rookie cards". They had a station set up where the kids could get rookie cards made for free. They didn't have any UCONN jerseys, only VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University), so both boys are in a VCU jersey for these pictures. These cards are so cute!
