..to play or not to play..

last years all-star team(not a very good pic.)

dallin had a tough decision to make on sunday.
he was selected again to play on the all-star team,
which started practices this week, with their first game
on wednesday. this happens to be the same week that
he has been preparing for a 50 mile hike at Lake Tahoe.
he was really looking forward to going on this as well. for
those of you who don't know dallin, he lives for baseball.
the kid is addicted. if he's not outside playing it, he is in watching
highlights on sports center, or reading updates on the internet.
long story short, he had to make a decision: baseball or the hike.
after some tears (and really wanting to do both) he decided that
he had many years of baseball still ahead of him, so he opted to
go on the hike. he will be hiking 10 miles a day, with a backpack
that weighs 21 lbs.! i'm hoping he has a good experience and makes
lifetime memories. the scenery alone at lake tahoe beats looking at
a baseball diamond! (in my opinion) i think you made a good choice
d-man!
