We were all too excited when K-State made the NCAA tournament in Tucson. Tucson is, after all, just a hop skip and jump from our home. It was a given Rob would attend- come on, how often does your Alma mater play in your own backyard? This would also be a monumental event for Lilly- her first KSU sporting event, first NCAA tournament, first trip to Tucson... lots of fun, as you can imagine. We had talked up the game for several days, so Lilly was eager to hit the road to see the Cats. She dressed in purple and even took her KSU cheerleader doll.
Though the game was a loss for the Cats, it was a win for Lilly and Rob. They had a great time together, brought home a souvenir basketball and all kinds of memories. It was clear the experience made a big impression on little Lilly. And this morning Lilly reminded Rob, "Dad, you said you would put up a hoop in our backyard." Oh my, here we go!
