Our Awesome All-Star

In January, Caiden got word that he had been invited to the 8-Man All-Star Football Game in Beloit, KS, which would take place in June. What an opportunity! We are so proud of his accomplishments this year, and this was just the icing on the cake of a successful senior year. Caiden arrived in Beloit on Tuesday morning and lived and practiced with his team until Saturday, when the game was played. Overall, this was a fantastic experience for him and a little preview of what dorm life might be like next fall. 

Chelan and I went up on Friday night to participate in their "Friday Night Lights" program - basically a video of highlights from the week. It was a joy to watch and listen to all the boys interacting with each other throughout the evening and to see where he lived for a week. On Saturday morning, the game began at 10 a.m. - it was a rather steamy event due to hot and humid conditions. Unfortunately, Caiden's team (the West) fell short, but we like to say they won the 2nd half. He even recorded a few tackles on the day! 

What an experience - congrats Caiden. We are so proud of you!

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!
