Off to Hoopfest

By noon today we'll be on our way to Spokane for Hoopfest, the world's largest 3 on 3 street basketball tournament. It's an amazing spectacle. There are thousands of players from wide-eyed eight year olds up to the senior division of 40+ players. A large portion of downtown Spokane is shut down in the area surrounding Riverfront Park. Portable basketball hoops sprout up in the streets and parking lots. Noah's team is a great group of boys with fun parents. We enjoy hanging out between games at the hotel. Two of Noah's teammates have older brothers who also play at Hoopfest so we get to watch them play too. Several of Alyssa's classmates are playing this year too so we'll try to find their courts and watch them if possible. I'll post pictures next week.
