MIZZOU Madness and Catching up with Friends

Well, at the risk of sounding like a KU fan, I am ready for basketball season.  Mizzou kicked off their basketball season with Mizzou Madness on Friday night.  I took Ella and Sam to watch the men's and women's teams scrimmage, to watch some skills competitions and to see the big highlight which was the dunk contest.  The basketball was a lot of fun to watch.  We are getting two season tickets this year and splitting up the games as a family.  It should be a lot of fun cheering on what promises to be a good season for our Tigers!  Sam is already choosing the games he wants to attend.  I think our football season has us down in the dumps.  
One of Sam's good friends from Springfield, who were also our old neighbors, came up for the weekend and his family joined us to watch the basketball.  Sam was so excited to see his friend Andre.  It was nice to see everyone and catch up on what has been going on in their lives.

The next day we met the Murrays for some pizza at Shakespeare's and then headed over to the quad to show the boys the columns.  They had fun climbing them and just chasing each other around the quad for probably forty-five minutes.  It was a nice time just watching them run and laugh like they used to around the neighborhood. There is nothing better than kids just running and having fun!
