Take me out to the Ball Game!

Alan and Abby invited Khyl and I to the Reno Aces ball game against the Sky Sox! We really had a blast and the game was really exciting! The Sky Sox scored 4 runs in the first inning, we scored 3 in the 4th and another in the 6th to tie the game. Then the Sky Sox pulled ahead by one in the 7th inning. Then we scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th and the Sox struck out in the top of the 9th. It was a really close, very intense and exciting game! Thanks Alan and Abby for such a fun time!

Snowmobiling

This is super late, but when Khyl's family came to visit in March, his parents took us snowmobiling. It was very fun, but I found out that I don't like driving them at all. (The tour guide didn't think I looked old enough to in the first place.) So I let Khyl do the driving and just went along for the ride. Here are some of the pics from the fun time. Thanks again, Doug and Linda!

The family: Doug, Lori, Mark, Candice, Jared, Khyl, Linda

Khyl has now added one of these bad boys to his

Wish/He-Thinks-He'll-Buy-In-The-Future-But-I-Disagree List.

It's a loooong list!
