Last weekend was full of basketball. We attended our first Woodward Granger sporting event when we headed to the girl's basketball game at the high school. Alena had signed up for a dance clinic and performed at the halftime of the game. She had a great time and it was cute watching all of the performances. This was my first trip to Woodward. It was weird sitting in the gymnasium thinking that this is where we may watch our children play sports. I still love the small town feel of this school and we were able to mingle with our neighbors that live directly behind us during the game.
Saturday morning, Alena had her first basketball practice. While I entertained two 3 year olds, I occasionally caught a glimpse of her working on different drills. She was one of only 3 girls who went out for basketball and by far the tallest of all the kids. I'm sure the other kids will catch up to her soon.
We went home quick for an early lunch and then headed to Ames for the Women's Iowa State basketball game. Alena was chosen to be the Honorary Captain for the game which meant she needed to be there ahead of time to participate in some special things. She was able to be in the locker room with the team and coach, tour the training room and media room and get her picture on the big screen with her name announced. She was so excited and had a great time. What a special day for her!

We ended the weekend by enjoying another sport, football, with a little Superbowl Party. This was one of those weekends where I am exhausted come Sunday night but it was all worth it. We squeezed a ton in and everyone had a fabulous time. I am ready for some outdoor activities though-come on Spring!
A few random pics of our adventures this winter:
