My grandparents moved to Arizona a few years ago. They moved to Arizona because they got so sick of the weather in Minnesota! In Minnesota there was a really bad snowstorm and they agreed that winter was the last. While in Arizona my Papa Zimmer discovered a fun sport that he would like to play, this sport is pickleball.

Even President Barack Obama said that if he had boys he wouldn’t let them play football. LeBron James publicly said no football in his house.
