Tigers Basketball

On February 27th, our family went to a Memphis Tigers basketball game. Brandon was able to receive some free tickets for the game from his school. We were all very excited about attending the game.

To start the game off, one of Brandon's professors took our family out to eat at a restaurant where they serve Philly Cheese Steaks. The food was so yummy! It was very nice for Brandon's professor to take us out to eat. It was a fun way to start off the night.

The kids were so excited to be at the basketball game. Hyrum was especially excited since where the basketball game was played is where the Monster Truck Rally was.The kids loved the blow-up ref for a local business.Where we sat for the game was almost the last row in the stadium, in other words, nose bleed section.The kids loved all the sights and noise. Emmy loved the cheer leaders and the dancers. She also loved watching the two tiger mascots. She wanted me to take a picture of one of them.
Ben thought the blimp was pretty cool and wanted me to take a picture of it.
We were able to sit by another student family from Brandon's school, that we are friends with, at the game. Hyrum loved talking with their kids.

The kids loved the free booklets they found about the sports teams in our area.Hyrum even kept a paper/handout about how if the tigers win, then you get something. In this case, some discount at a local bar. In the picture below, Ben is holding the handout Hyrum has kept.Hyrum loved doing the DEFENSE and other fun cheers through out the game. It was fun to talk to him about basketball lingo.During the game, most of the time the kids were cheering for the Cougars.

We had such a great time together as a family. It also didn't hurt that it was a good game!
