Wrestling and Mahoney

Two weekends ago my sister's family from Kansas came to Lincoln and we had a full agenda! My nephew, Tyler, is ranked 2nd in the state in his class in wrestling and we were looking forward to seeing him compete. He graduates this spring, so we have few opportunities left to see him in action. We laid low Friday evening so we could get up bright and early to get the day rolling.

We were nervous how all the kids would do at the event, but the Elkhorn gym was set up so well. The bleachers were connected to an indoor track that overlooked the mats. The kids were able to run around (and expend energy) while the adults could see them and the meet. Tyler kicked some tail, winning all three of his matches. And the concessions stand got plenty of business from us too.We arrived just moments before Tyler's first match!

Chase was such a trooper, he had a super happy day!Corbin and Austin dug into the legos!Nikki pushed Lizzie around the track :o)Terry, Kara, Karon, Craig and Casey

Next stop: Mahoney State Park! The kids (and adults) burned off some energy in the play center. The place was packed and felt like a sauna. I followed Kyndal through the twists and turns and slides a few times and didn't think twice when she asked if we could hit the ice...I was sweating majorly! Everyone else was ready to cool off too.Uncle Terry taking a break and watching Chase who is snoozing.Fun in the ball pit...Kara and LizzieRight when we got on the ice they called everyone off so they could clear it. It took us a bit to get off!
