YODER FAMILY: March Madness!

March Madness is correct it is MADNESS! It has been a very exciting 3 weeks of craziness following the Wildcats through the Big 12 Tournament and than on to the Elite 8. Peyton was a trooper and had a great time watching the Cats. Travel was easy and we wish that we were starting to pack our bags for Indy, but it is also good to be home. We could not be more PROUD of the K-State Wildcats and the success of the team this year. It was so great to be apart of it all. Brandon could not have asked for a better year to start working with the basketball team and he is looking forward to many more years of success.

Here are many pictures from the last 3 weeks.

She did such a good job and Brandon and I were so proud of our little girl.

We had a full day on Wednesday to figure out what we could do to keep all the kids busy. The basketball staff has 15 kids and counting, so we are quite the large group. So on Wednesday we took 13 of the kids to this place called Discovery Gateway to get out of the hotel and have some fun. Here are some of the kids waiting to get on the light rail.

Peyton and Mommy riding on what she called the "Choo Choo" she could see it from the hotel window and would get very excited.

Peyton had a great time playing. I think that we were there for almost 3 hours before heading to lunch. It was a good choice for the kids.

The water was the best part and Peyton stayed there for a long time.

Well we all know what happened. It was very disappointing, but we were still very proud of the guys and the roller coaster ride they took us on all year.
