The Ackleys in Phoenix

Robert and Lori Ackley with their Children made the long journey from Highland Utah to come cheer on their favorite wheelchair basketball team. Leaving on Friday morning, they drove all day and, with kids on board adding to the fun, arrived in Phoenix. It had to be a very tiring day.

Did they go to their hotel and crash? No! They took to the time to find the team hotel, decorating the rooms with customized "Wheelin' Jazz" water bottles, snack bags with trail mix, beef and turkey jerkey, and apples. They also took the time to create a poster welcoming the team to Arizona and wishing us well in the tournament.

Thanks to Lori, Robert, Justin, Jeremy, Steven, and Tyson for supporting the team.

Oops, my wife just yelled at me for having an apostrophe in the Ackley's name. I think I did it on purpose to rile her up. It's her pet peeve.
