A Night Out with the Girls

We had the fortune of scoring some really great tickets to last night's mens basketball game against Nebraska (Thanks Corey and Amy!). We were able to get four tickets so the whole family braved the sub-zero temperatures to catch some Hilton Magic (we couldn't pass this up!). 

The girls had an absolute ball!  They loved the whole experience.  For Olivia, this was her second trip to the Hilton but her first men's game.  For Sylvia, this was a first and she did much better than Olivia's first trip!  Olivia was SO excited to see Cy again.  She promised that she was going to hug and kiss him this time.  The whole game she was keeping track of Cy, always wondering where he was and asking when she could hug him.  Finally we had an opportunity to go down and get a picture with Cy, Olivia backed out.  Maybe next time!

Since we were behind the courtside broadcasters, I could see the TV feed from the game.  I just happened to look down at it and saw someone that looked ALOT like Olivia. Wait...it was! And there's ME!  We're on TV! All four of us were on TV for what seemed like forever!! How cool! We got several calls and text messages soon after from friends and family that were watching the game.  Cool cool.

After the game we made the long cold trek back to our van.  We were sitting in it waiting for it warm up and for traffic to clear when we noticed a woman standing outside her vehicle.  She was waiting for the person with the keys to show up so we let her hang out in our van to get out of the cold.  It was none other than Cy's mom!  So Olivia got to meet Cy's mom instead of Cy!

Oh, and the Cyclones won the game too.
