Weekend Updates

Just wanted to put a few highlights of the past 3 day weekend.

First of all, Scott and I got to go on a date! We went to the Cheesecake factory, since we had a gift card there. It's a ways away, but it was worth it. We knew we'd have an hour plus wait at the restaurant, so we decided to go to WINCO and get some of our favorite bulk items. Everything went smoothly and we had some truly delicious food. Thanks to Michael and Savannah for babysitting!

The second major event of the weekend was that Alan got to go to his first basketball game!!! Alan was still sleeping as it was getting time to go to the game, so we waited until he woke up from his nap and then rushed over. Much to Scott's dismay, we missed part of the first half. But the truly unfortunate news is that Alan was still in his half sleepy/groggy state when we got there. He had no idea what was going on and the loud buzzers and cheering totally freaked him out. Now he's never had any problem at all at football games... he even used to sleep when we were there. But once things calmed down and he had a chance to get used to everything, he was fine. By the 2nd half he was having a ball.

It turned out to be a good game. We won by almost double. Looks like our basketball team is pretty good this year. My favorite part may have been the half time show, though. It started out with clips from the football season, then Bronco and Harvey, and it was just fun to celebrate after a great season. Then the ultimate highlight was the performance of "Jean's Golden Girls." Priceless. It's this group of over 100 women from age 50-93 that come out and dance to B52's "Love Shack" They collectively have 480 children, 1170 grandchildren, 250 great-grandchildren,and 2 great-great grandchildren. And the best part is at the end when the 93 year old solos and starts doing high kicks and splits. Literally amazing. Props to these women.
