time for a Butler basketball game


One of our goals this year was to take the kids to a basketball game at Butler.  Thanks to Andy's connections, we got free tickets-so nice with as many people as we have.  The game was December 22nd against Evansville.  The only catch was that we had to split up-4 seats in one spot, 2 in another.  They actually weren't that far apart and we could have gotten together to sit after the first half.  Andy took Kella, Marcus, Cale and Ewan.  I had some one on one time with Liam.  A bag of candy to pass around made the game go more smoothly for those with shorter attention spans.  
Liam watching the game.  It was pretty warm, as you can tell by his rosy cheeks. 

Our view of the court.

The game was a good game.  Butler vs. Evansville.  You would think that being ranked and having beaten the #1 team in the country (IU), that Butler would have had this game in the bag.  Surprisingly, it was a close game.  Butler pulled away in the second half for a little while and people started to leave.  Then, Evansville came within 4 points of tying the game.  All those people getting ready to leave decided to stand there and see what would happen.

Liam didn't care.

Butler won!

My attempt of a photo of Andy and the kids in Hinkle Fieldhouse.  Not too shabby looking of a group.  I especially like how Ewan is giving himself bunny ears.
