Three weekends at the park

We have had lots of cold days and snow. One day Nick was playing with his basketball in the house. Mommy said, "would you like to play basketball in the park?" Nick said, "yes!"

We got in the car and we went to Shell Creek Park. The basketball court was locked because it was covered in snow. Nick played on the playground instead, and then we went home.


The next weekend mommy and Nick were in the car going to stores. Mommy said, "I have your basketball in the trunk, should we go to Eisenhower Park to play?" Nick smiled and said, "yes!"

The snow was very deep and we walked a long time from the car and found that we could not play basketball there either. Nick was a good sport and played in the playground instead.

Today is Saturday and Nick went back to AHRC to play. Mommy picked up Nick and we went to have french fries for lunch. Then mommy said, "The basketball is still in the trunk of the car, do you want to go to the park to play?" Nick looked happy and he said, "yes!"

And we were happy to see there was not too much snow. There were lots of kids playing the park. Nick went into the basketball court and threw the ball into the hoop on the first try!

Nick played ball for awhile and then he played in the playground.

When we got back to the car Nick had a big smile on his face. Mommy said, "I can see you had a good time, we will have to come back so you can play basketball again, you are very good at it."
