BASEBALL TOURNAMENT - POCATELLO, IDAHO

Vicky and Scott accompanied Niel to Pocatello, ID for a baseball tournament. Niel's team, the Sluggers, compiled a 3 - 1 record and played very well. The trip was memorable because of the bitter cold conditions for the 2nd game on Fri afternoon. The outside temp was about 37 - 38 degrees F, but the wind was blowing and there were rain/snow showers which made it seem even colder. After the game, which we won, everyone hustled to their cars and turned on the heaters. Then we hustled to the hot tub at the hotel. The next day was much nicer with cool, but clear conditions. On Sun, we drove to Lava Hot Springs for some relaxation in the hot pools, and then drove to Logan to wish Grandma a happy Mother's Day! Next month Niel goes to Omaha for a tournament, but I think the rest of us will stay home for that one. Keep your eye on the ball!

The Hot Springs sounds heavenly after a cold game. Niel is such an all star, it will be fun to watch him over the years.
