Today was the day that Travis and Sam redeemed their joint birthday gift (Caroline just got to ride along on their coat tails) - tickets to the Kentucky/South Carolina game! To say that everyone was pumped would be an understatement. In fact, this is the sight that greeted me last night:
Their great tickets bought them the ability to get up close and personal while the team practiced before the game, which lead to high-fives from all of their favorite players as they left the arena after practice. Their up-close seats also meant that Ben, Jack and I were able to spot them as the camera panned the crowd! The sighting came right after a series of impressive shots made by the Wildcats and you can believe there was some fist pumping and celebrating going on. Kentucky's ultimate victory only added to the awesomeness of the evening. My people came home excited, full of stories, worn out and more devoted to their team than ever.
