This afternoon we AGAIN forced our children to walk more than 6 feet. That's two weeks in a row! (I think David would argue this is abuse, but I would argue that we're simply toughening him up for springtime, when he'll have to do more than sit on his bum and play Lego Star Wars Wii.)
We headed to campus again, but this time our destination was the Kohl Center to see a women's basketball game.
Mary was very serious about waiting for the game to start. She's been looking forward to this since we told her about it.
I think David was more excited about the idea of going to a basketball game than the actual game. But he was an enthusiastic fan at the beginning. And he enjoyed his popcorn.
Always exciting to see Bucky Badger.
In the last few minutes of the game, the Badgers finally took the lead.
Mary cheered on the team.
(Actually, she cheered on both teams. But we forgive her, just look how cute she is.)The tight score made for an exciting finale. Alas, the Wolverines won 68-66. Oh well. (Last night David prayed that the Badgers would win. I guess now is as good of time as any to learn that God doesn't always answer your prayers exactly the way you want. Also, it helps that by the end David was so bored that he seriously didn't know who won until we were talking about it in the car on the way home.)
It was really fun! And I say that with surprise in my voice. I feel like we should take advantage of the opportunities that come with living in a college town. And college athletics is one of those opportunities....but it doesn't mean I thought it would be fun. But it was! Yay, Badgers!
P.S. I was impressed with #30 Alyssa Karel. She's a high-scoring, spunky guard who's graduating in nursing with awesome grades and starting P.A. school in the fall. Not bad!
