The King Women's "Girls Day Out"



We all decided back in January that we wanted to go to an ISU game.. (thanks to Mal, she organized the whole thing).  Joyce had it on her bucket list to get to an ISU Basketball Game... and sad to say, as in ISU grad, this was my first mens basketball game too.  We had so much fun.  I have been blessed with an amazing group of woman in my family from cousins, to aunts...and of course my awesome sister! (she was a good sport even though she is a KU fan...)

Mollie and Joyce before the game




Jessie, Stacey and Haley (my soon to be nanny for the summer... yeah)


This guy dressed up in this woman's sumo wrestler suit and ran around, jumped around and for some reason... I couldn't stop watching him... he was pretty funny.

Of course I had to stalk Fred Hoiberg.. He is so handsome (if you are not an ISU fan he is NOT the guy on the right with the striped tie).  He played at ISU when I was there..

This bummed me out.. it was blurry... but we still had a good time.  We went downtown Des Moines for dinner at the High Life Lounge.  It's a dive downtown and they don't serve any beer introduced after 1970!  Beer signs all over the walls, shag carpet and cheap beer and YUMMY food for dirt cheap!  I think everyone had a good time there. 

Jessie drinking Tang.. when is the last time you had TANG?  She had 3 glasses!

Courtney (Mal's roommate) had an iced cold... PBR!!

Joyce, Myrna and Stacey

The King ladies... Mal, Myrna and Lea

Mollie and Auntie Joyce!!
Joyce and I...wish the flash had gone off...   Oh well, better luck next time.

ISU vs K State

Up at Hilton Coliseum in Ames for the ISU vs K State woman's basketball game.  Elise and her cheer squad are cheering at half-time.  Sad to say that I am an ISU grad and this was the first basketball game I have seen at Hilton! 



Waiting to perform!

Lauren meets Cy!

Haley and Elise


Of course my camera had an "error" in the middle of her performance so I am missing the middle part... grrrrr.



Haley, Olivia, Paige, Elise and Kristen up in the stands after their performance.




Gold and red ice-cream!!


So we ran down from the second level because we saw Cy running around on the mezzanine level.  The girls really wanted their picture taken with him.  So one of the girls ran ahead and tugged on his arm and asked for a picture, he was annoyed about something and pulled his arm away from her and ran down to the court.. totally blowing off 8 little girls who just wanted a photo!  I was NOT happy and the girls were pretty upset.  They kept asking why he did that.. I have no idea. 

So.. we just took a group photo and headed back to our seats!

Team Bobcat Cheetah Storm!














Elise runs out of steam pretty quick.. it's actually pretty funny.  She volunteers to sit out!  Ha Ha.  But she has improved a lot this year and she is getting a little bit more aggressive with her rebounding so that is good.


















This is way blurry but the only close up shooting shot I had...










Coach Matt, Jilly, Chloe, Lincoln, Elise, Lilly, Natalie
