I took the girls to their first BYU basketball game. They had Spanish Fork night where residents could get tickets for only $1. My friend Denise and I decided that it would be a good chance to find out whether or not our kids would enjoy the game (as opposed to paying full price for a ticket, only to find out the kids want to leave at half time). The girls and I got there about 35 minutes early, so we went down close to the court and watched the players warm up. It turns out the most exciting thing, however, is really when the cheerleaders come out to warm up! The girls really enjoyed watching all the cheering and dancing.

Just after half time, a guy sitting next to us saw Cosmo (the BYU mascot) at a nearby portal. He went and asked him to come to our portal. Brynne wasn't interested in seeing him, but I snapped the picture below of Morgan next to him. (Denise's son Zachary is the little face you see between Cosmo and Morgan, and her son Tyler is in the green shirt.) And notice Cosmo pointing at me?? I can't decide if he's trying to tell me my hair is sticking up or if he's saying "You are the woman!"

Morgan had some pretty memorable quotes during the game...
Just after BYU sunk a 3-pointer: "Wow! Did you see that cheerleader do a flip?"
As the players came out to warm up after half time: "Oh man! Are they going to play
another game?" I guess I hadn't adequately described the idea of half-time.
We ended up leaving not quite half way through the second half. I thought they'd at least enjoyed it, but Morgan told me she wouldn't care to go to any more games. Brynne said she would like to, but that's probably because she had me hold her the whole time and that perk doesn't necessarily come free with every game! I had invited them to a football game a few months back also, but neither of them wanted to come. I'm beginning to get a bit worried. Where did I get girls that are actually girls? And who's going to get season tickets with me for all the sporting events? Lee, one more reason I can't wait for you to get home!!! :)
