Our sweet, easy going, sports fanatic turns 11 today. Here are his answers to eleven questions all about his life as he knows it. We think it captures him at this age of discovery, risk taking, and learning. And, lots and lots of baseball, soccer and basketball!
1. What five words do you think best describe you? Smart, kind, friendly, funny and athletic.
2. What have you done in the past year that you are most proud of?
I learned how to snowboard when we were at June Mountain last winter. In one of my basketball games this summer, I scored 19 points. And at the end of the Little League season, I got selected to the All-Stars team. We did really well until we lost on the 4th of July.
3. What do you think will be a new privilege that comes with being 11 years old?
I'll be able to stay home and babysit Jake for longer periods.
4. How would you like to celebrate your 11th birthday?
I'd love to go to a Dodgers or Warriors game -- deciding between the two is tough.
5. If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?I would hang out in the Dodgers' dugout and listen to everything going on. Then I would sit on the Warriors' bench during a game and watch all the action.
6. Where is your favorite place in the world?
My five favorite places in the world are London, Italy, Hawaii, Yosemite, and June Mountain.
7. Of all the things you are learning, what do you think will be the most useful when you are an adult?
Math!
8. What are your favorite types of books to read?
I like books where the characters play sports. Some of my favorite authors are John Feinstein and Tim Green. I also really like a series of kids detective books by John Grisham.
9. What are you most looking forward to in fifth grade?I'm happy to be learning more US History.
10. What's one rule in your family that you'd like to change?
I hate Yard Work Sundays ... so torturous! Our yard has way too many pine needles to sweep.
11. If you could buy a plane ticket to anywhere, where would you go?
Game seven of the World Series! Or the NBA Finals. That would be pretty cool too.
You make every day more fun because you're in it, Ryan. Happy birthday buddy!

what a great post! Happy Birthday Ryan! I love that Yosemite made his list of top places in the world. I agree! We have a magnolia tree in our back yard that drops leaves all year and Musty and I both dislike picking them up. So I don't like Yardwork Sundays either. ha ha.
Happy Birthday Ryan! You've had a very exciting year. Sounds likes we'll have to watch for you in the MLB or NBA some day. Wishing you another great year.
