Go Uncle Jon!

Last Saturday, while in South Dakota, we got to see Uncle Jonny and the Raiders win their 3rd basketball game. Currently they are 4-0!


Here's Meredith and Gracie in their matching Raiders outfits cheering for Uncle Jon. The sleeves of their shirts even say "#23" and "GEHRELS".

Grace is a veteran b-ball fan and this was Meredith's first basketball game.

Jon was close to getting the MVP of the game award. He had 15 points, 7 rebounds, and a couple of steals. He is an awesome player. (Learned everything he knows from me.)

Here's Papa and Kadyn watching Jon at the game. Kadyn was sick earlier that morning but was feeling well enough to eat a lot from the concession stand at the game, including a giant pickle that I had fun watching him try to eat. That's my Uncle Tom with his back to us. Jon had 24 family members at that particular game cheering him on. (Abby, Brad, and Ethan count as ORR fans that day, right?)

After the game, Aaron and Scott clothed their little girls up in their "Oompa" suits to head back outside into the South Dakota wind and cold.
