Basketball Games for Zach and Kirstyn
Today Zach and Kirstyn played great in their games. Zach is quite the little defender! He has some work to do on offense, but he really sticks to who he is guarding like glue. 🙂 His team won and it looks as if their team is going to have a great (possibly undefeated?) season! Kirstyn
