An Afternoon With the Ladybacks

Today I took the kids out to see the Ladybacks play Vanderbilt in a game up at the U of A campus. Kaitlyn was given 4 free tix from her school so since Jennifer was on call, I thought it'd be fun for the 3 of us to go see it.

It was Jake's first time in Bud Walton Arena and surprisingly, he was fairly familiar with how to call the Hogs. As you can see, he wasn't too impressed with how loud things got at times but I told him he could yell as loud as he wanted when he called the Hogs. He later obliged.


I knew that if I didn't get some pics of this great event for Grandma Tricia, she might disown us! LOL However, we made her proud today by not only calling the Hogs several times and dancing to the Hog Wild Band, but I even got a pic of the kids with Pork Chop, one of the Razorback mascots who partols the stands during the game.


Sadly though, Arkansas was on the losing end big time before we even left the game. I figured it'd be better to leave and beat the crowd out of the parking lot plus the kids were beginning to get a little restless. Still, considering the option of staying at home on a freezing Sunday afternoon with 2 kids who'd have been stir crazy and dancing on my last nerve, the Ladyback game was a great decision and hopefully the next time we go, the game itself will be more interesting.


GO HOGS GO!!!
