Kyler isn't really in Idaho! A team from Idaho came to play in a Rocky Mountain Baseball Tourney and needed another player, so they called the director who thought of Kyler and they called Matt and asked if Kyler would play with them. Since Kyler's team wasn't playing during UEA he said, "I would love it!"He had such a fun time. He got to play all the positions that he wanted to and he pitched during one of the games and did real well!
The kids were put together two weeks before coming to St.George from various towns in Eastern Idaho and then they disbanded after the games were over, so Kyler got to keep the uniform, the team gave him the game ball and a really nice tourney shirt with all the kids and coaches signitures on it! We gave the team treats and a really nice card in their team colors with a picture of Kyler and his phone number so that when they come into town they can call him.
We loved it because he had to break out of his shy shell and was able to meet new kids and build a relationship with others that has turned into a penpal experience. One of the kids is coming back during Christmas time and they are going to call Kyler up when they are here.
I think that it was a great experience for him!
