Last week when we attended the girls basketball game I won a t-shirt. In the t-shirt was 2 free tickets to attend the Beauty and the Beast event Friday 2/20 in Ames. It was Iowa State gymnasts and wrestlers preforming at the same time vs Minnesota. I left work early and met the girls off the bus. Tara wasn't sure she wanted to go. Tia was excited. We stopped in Ankeny and grabbed BK. We got to Ames about an hour before (game time, tip-off...not sure the word for gymnastics or wrestling) We had general admission tickets. There weren't many seats that were reserved, we sat down and realized we were in reserved and so found different seats. After setting down we noticed we couldn't see the bars very good, but decided to stay where we were. I heard someone say my name and it was the Chew family, they had left work early also and had gotten there in time to see Shawn Johnson. Tia was disappointed we didn't make it in time. It was a fun night. When we were leaving Ames it had just started snowing. By the time we got home the ground was white.
Saturday started with a couple loads of laundry as we got ready to go to Stuart for Tara's noon basketball game. It is tuff getting the chores done between all the running. Tara's team won 12-10. Tia's team played at 2, she stayed at the school while Tara and I ran to BK again for lunch. Tia's team gave the good fight but again lost. We stopped and got her BK on the way out of town. We ran home, fed the cats and headed to Altoona to meet Mike and Murt. Bailey kept the girls company, he had his guitar and they had karaoke. They were laughing pretty good when we returned home and had to play Mississippi Queen. Gene had taken our extra car to Cedar Falls and traded Jeff for his car, which is having problems again. He met us at Mike's. We went to Valley Junction and had a sandwich at The Longest Yard (Eric had suggested it) it was a good choice. Then onto the Valair Ballroom for Gene's show of "Think Floyd". (Pink Floyd has always been one of Gene's favorite groups) it was okay. I wouldn't mind seeing Bob Seger there:)
The girls missed their game last week due to weather, so they made the games up Sunday afternoon. They played at the same time in two different gyms. I tried my best to run back and forth between. Tia's team won, they played hard. Tia didn't make her free throws, but made a layup and had some good steals. Tara made it thru this weekend keeping the ball on the right end of the court. Yeah girls!
