Every Kid Wants to Be a Professional Athlete…

But mine just might do it!

Papa took Ryan to the Rotary Club's “Coats for Kids” Car Show on Bountiful Main Street on Friday night. It has been going for 11 years, and we have been a couple of times in the past. Ryan and Papa always enjoy seeing all of the different cars, especially Holly Refinery’s “flame throwing” truck.
Burt Brother’s Tires, one of the sponsors for the event, had a throw-the-football-through-the-tire contest. They had age divisions (4 & under, 5-8, 9-12, 13-19, 20-64, 65 & up). So Ryan was one of the youngest in the 9-12 age division, since he recently turned 9. HE WON for his division! His prizes included Jazz sweatbands (1 head and 2 arm), and a Burt Brothers water bottle.
Then they announced that the overall winner (the most completions in ALL age groups) would win a mini basketball autographed by Deron Williams (Ryan’s favorite Jazz player). RYAN WON!!! Here he is with his loot. Yes, my 9-year-old child had more passing completions than the 100 other contestants!
