Our First NIU Basketball Game

Today was Faculty and Staff Appreciation day at the NIU Men's basketball game against Bowling Green. All faculty and staff of NIU got free tickets, so we went. We met up and sat with Todd and Mel Gilson (Todd's a new professor in our department too), Vicky Books and her family (Vicky's an instructor in our department), and Travis, Amy, and Morgan. It was nice making it out to an NIU sporting event (which you can never go wrong with Cisco), even though NIU lost. Kaila had fun, she watched the game, the band, the cheerleaders, the dances, everything. She clapped and clapped when others were. It was a fun two hours with everyone.

The Convocation Center, home of the Huskies. Really nice place.
The Family:

Travis, Amy, and Morgan (with Ellie in the back)
Kaila with Todd and Mel:
The game. Of course, Cisco examined the shoes first thing. BGSU had on orange NIKE Hyperdunks and white/orange Powermax TB's, which surprised him, since their football team is Adidas. On the other hand, NIU was.....well.....wearing Adidas.
The Halftime Show: a dance group of all ages. Maybe Morgan and Kaila will be down there dancing one day.
