Finally, the daffodils have opened. Spring is late coming this year but I guess not as late as it is in the UP. They are still having snowstorms.
Basketball ended on Saturday and swimming started on Monday. He didn't swim the last couple years but decided to join the team this year. He has his first meet April 14th. He is so excited as he's never competed in swimming before.
Danny's basketball team lost their first game at the state games and won their second to get third place for the Bronze medal. He was pumped! He was especially pumped that he got the 3-pointer he was saying he was going to get!
Danny's basketball team won first place in the District Tournament. They will be going to State March 22 and 23 in Rockford. They were pretty pumped! Danny had one of his best days and made lots of baskets.

Danny was really in the role of Prince Fielder. When he saw himself after he got dressed, he said, "Wow, I really look like Prince!" You could tell he really "felt" like he was Prince.
Danny's friend Taylor also jumped. Him and Taylor have been good buddies since elementary school.
Danny's cousin Sheila and her friend Susie from Brighton's Fantastic Sam's plunged also. (Sheila and Susie look like they could be sisters.)
Big brother Wade decided to take the plunge with Danny. He got the good video of him.
Waiting their turn to plunge. Sheila looks a lot more calmer there than I think she actually was!
After the plunge. Yes, it was COLD, said Danny. He can't wait until next year to do it again. He's hoping to recruit ALL of his brothers to do it with him.
He did it! Danny (Prince Fielder) and Wade jumped through the hole in the ice Saturday. Thank you to all who donated! Danny raised $1,710 for Special Olympics!! Wade put together a video of the event. Click on this link to see it:
