Monica and I spent most of the day at Hec Ed with Great Grandma, Grandpa Mike, and Nana Barb. We started with the alumni game at noon and didn't leave until the autograph session ended at 4! Anton and Jack stayed home for quieter activities.
Monica had a great time and enjoyed some of her favorite activities at the Dawghouse:
-watching her favorite player: #4 Emily Florence
-eating a hot dog with ketchup AND mustard
-playing ball in the foyer with Mom, Nana Barb, Grandpa, or just throwing it against the wall by herself
-asking Grandpa Mike for popcorn
-eating the popcorn that Grandpa buys for her
-keeping track of where Harry the Husky (mascot) is throughout the game
-commenting on the cheer staff
-guessing what the halftime entertainment will be
-finding Kari (Peterson) Hager in the crowd
-asking if we are ahead, even though she can read the scoreboard
-waiting in line after the game to get autographs from the players
Monica's objectives are somewhat different from MY favorite game-day activities, which include:
-drinking a large mountain dew
-browsing the Husky team shop for essential gear such as car flags and purple beads
-fashion-checking our coaching staff
-seeing how many 80s songs I can recognize from the band's playlist
-catching up with Mom, Dad, and Grandma
-waving at and sometimes chatting with Kari (Peterson) Hager
-yelling at the refs
-watching current highlights such as Katelan's shooting ability, Emily's amazing nose for the ball on rebounds, and Andrea's close range shot
-yelling at the opposing coach to sit down
-yelling at the refs some more
-commentating back and forth with my father
-securing another victory
I especially enjoyed watching the Husky alumni game today which took place before the regular game. While some of the players seemed as good as ever, others looked like they hadn't touched a ball since graduating, making me feel better about my own mediocre performance on Wednesday! Maybe the Husky alums will be sore tomorrow too!
