Phoenix Fun

This post is supposed to be about a UWGB basketball game, but I just had to start with a picture of something that is rarely seen about these here parts...



Yep. That there's my daughter and my wife both wearing a skirt at the same time.

Kinda like our own version of the harmonic covergance.

Anyway, on to the real story.

Although the days of
Dick Bennett are clearly long gone, a UWGB Phoenix basketball game can still be a fun night out for the family...



Cari nary missed a game during her childhood, and she thought it would be nice to introduce it to some of our children as well...



What excited Bretty and David the most, however, were the piles of nachos, pretzels and french fries...



Malia, in typical fashion, just made herself comfortable, crossed her legs, and enjoyed the popcorn...



For the most part, Nalani just sat back in her chair.

There was one thing, however, that got her to stand up on her feet to watch the action...



Nalani has decided she wants to be a cheerleader...



She liked the dance team, but she loved the cheerleaders.

She got so excited that she decided to dress herself up a bit in her scarf...



David spent much of the game drawing pictures and keeping to himself...



Bretty, on the other hand, couldn't keep anything to himself.

His great Uncle Dennis had to answer a thousand questions from Bretty...



Why do some baskets count for three point, but others are worth only two? What is a foul? Why did the referee hold his hands up like he's signalling for a touchdown? Why is that man in the front row saying such mean things to the man in the black and white striped shirt?

Bret also wanted to know if all those companies with their banners on the walls had to pay for them.

Our favorite sign at the arena was this one...



In Wisconsin, a Maui Wowi is a fruit smoothie drink.

To a guy from Hawaii, a
Maui Wowie has a very different meaning. I didn't know they legalized that stuff in Wisconsin!
