Illinois Trip

So...it's been awhile since we've posted. We just had a very exciting trip to Illinois for the World Horseshoe tournament. Nathan and Blaine both pitched and did very well. Nathan ended up taking 11th overall for the 18 yr old and under. He pitched in the championship play off's for #1 in the world in the Jr. division. He held his own and did pretty well against those horseshoe pitchers that pitched 87% ringers. He started quite a few of the games with a double ringer...just to intimidate a little bit. He held his own.

We had the opportunity to go to Carthage, IL, Nauvoo, IL, all of the Lincoln sites in Springfield, IL, Far West, Winter Quarters in Omaha, NE, the Mark Twain sites in Hannibal, MO and Adam-ondi-auhman. It was a very long drive, but well worth it!
