Qualifying for opti team trials… attending in April of this year!
Skiing church … at sugarbush with coach JP. The hardest ‘run’ (not a marked trail) that everyone talks about!
Starting at MRG… switched from sb to MRG and while it only started in December 2025, already a highlight for Colton! He loves it.
100+ ski days … even though that’s been his norm for the past few years.
First Broadway show in NYC… definitely not the last. Loved it even more than I thought he would.
Biathlon at HYC… after completing super swimmers, he and a few buddies completed a biathlon in August.
Opti regattas 15# : Wisconsin to NOLA to NJ, Delaware & all of New England… the kid spent so much time in his boat. Loves sailing.
Yard wiffle ball/lots of friend time… went on a wiffle ball bat making spree with Ollie and finished ‘Colton’s Colosseum’ (to compliment Tendler Terrain and Peacock Park — his neighbor buddies wiffle ball parks). Spent lots of time playing wiffle with blitz balls and junk balls with Dean, Ollie, Jax, Anderson, and Weston. Others too, but those were the main wiffle crew.
Favorite trip: Florida (November), NJ States (August), NYC (April), NY Memorial Day Tournament with Riptide. He can’t decide!
BLL Frank Finn award… his last year in Little League and he was recognized for his leadership and sportsmanship. Thankfully, baseball is not over. He will continue with Riptide this year… and maybe play one year in the Cal Ripken league. TBD.
What a year he had!

Got braces,
Became even more obsessed with Sailing,
Listened mostly to Morgan wallen,
Dying to go on a cruise,
Speaks in a British accent often, and it’s hilarious, I blame Harry Potter,

Def into the Short shorts fad,
Hair cut, ‘fluff,’ and having my friend Sarah cut it instead of me,
Sushi bowls being the favorite meal,
Not ever wanting to eat out,
‘Favorite things’ - fav Christmas song,
His love for Samantha, these two are inseparable, and never get tired of each other,
Super into Chess,
Other games of the year: Flip 7, rummikube, liars uno, play nine, sevens, hearts and spades,
First year playing Fantasy football — and won,
Scooter riding, out and in
Wiffle ball playing,

Favorite insult, Ski related… ‘Jerry,’
Very into the Rick riordan books and Greek mythology,
Loves doing wordle,
And thinks he might want to be an orthodontist.
