Gracie your Grander and Pawpaw are so proud of ever thing you have accomplished.
Best of Luck and lots of hoping you win in Wyoming. We love you very much! If you would love to help Gracie on her trip would be appreciated.
Way to go Ashley Henderson!
It is so refreshing to see these high schoolers getting outdoors and enjoying life. Congratulations to all of you that got involved. Just to compete takes such a commitment and I’m sure all of your parents are so proud.
What’s even better is that they are not wasting their free time playing video games and wearing out the facebook chat.
