First Basketball Game

As we mentioned we took Eleanor to her first OSU Basketball game yesterday. After watching Mom and Dad shovel out the car and part of grandpas driveway, she was so tired she fell asleep in the car on the way there. We managed to get her out of the car without waking her and she slept on my shoulder on the way into the Schott.

She continued to sleep once we were inside. Here she is in her Grove sweatshirt sent from Grandma. She missed her first chance for a Brutus Dog.

She kept snoring on my shoulder for 15+ minutes in our seats despite the band playing and the buzzer right behind us going off. She woke up just in time to say goodbye to the seniors (Butler, Twigs, and Othello). She even sang a bit during the National Anthem. Here she is with Wendy as the Bucks warm up for the game.
She was a little rattled by the noise of the fans at first (19,000 fans booing a bad call can be alarming), but she soon settled in. As the bucks surged to a win, keeping their NCAA tourney hopes alive, she seemed to enjoy the energy or maybe it was just the joyful cheers from Dad. Here she is after the game laughing and enjoying her first win in person.
