Hoopfest 2009

So, apparently, Spokane hosts the world's largest 3 on 3 basketball tournament! They close the entire downtown area and dedicate it to two days of street-style basketball!
This was our first time going to the event - I hope it becomes tradition!


Eric volunteered to help tape ankles in the first-aid/physical therapy tent.
The PT team taped over 150 people's ankles in the tent while he was there!


I just love this photo :)













This was our favorite team, the Dogbones.
They were hilarious!! Notice their cutoff sweatshirts, tight stretch pants, head and wristbands, false mustaches and keds! They brought a boombox and played the Footloose soundtrack. They also had an Igloo cooler with Tab to drink. When one of them made a 3-point shot, they all ran over and tickled him! It was so funny!!




We were instant fans, even starting a popular trend of getting their autographs.
She says she'll keep them until they are worth money :D
