Kristi scored 4 tickets to the Gonzaga Women's Basketball game tonight. So, with Audriana and Sofia in tow, we made it a fun girls night out! The game started at 6pm, so we got to the McCarthy Athletic Center by 5:30 so we could find our seats and watch the team warm up. Audriana had her eyes roaming all over the arena - taking in as much as she could. It was such a cool experience for her -- she just loved all the energy and music that comes with a college bball game! Sofia loved being there, too, and she especially loved watching the Gonzaga cheerleaders! She just couldn't believe it when the men would lift the cheerleaders up into the air. She informed us that she could probably do that -- yea, no problem! And the band was so cool! They played some really great tunes -- very loud and very energetic. We even treated ourselves to dinner - which pleased the girls even more! I was excited to see that they had some affordable food for the kids...for $4.50 the kids got a "kids pack" that came with a hotdog, small popcorn, drink, and rice krispie treat! What a good deal! Kristi and I had just a plain german sausage, which was $5.50 on its own! The Lady Zags played great, leading LMU the entire game. I think the final score was something like 72 to 50. We ran into Tami and Brett Hatcher (and their son Jack) when we first arrived and they told us to find them after the game and the girls could meet Lady Zag Shannon Reader #31! She is the daughter of one of Tami's friends, so they have become very close with her. We found them after the game and Shannon came right over to say hello to the girls and sign their Gonzaga posters. She was even kind enough to take a picture with the kids. We just had the best night! We will definitely do this again! Thanks Kristi for the opportunity to take in our first Gonzaga game!
