This weekend we continued to acquaint ourselves with our new 'home town.' We took the kids to see a Husker Basketball game. It began with a walk clear across campus that gave us a chance to check it out. There was a Husker football game later that night, so we got a taste of Husker tailgating too. Nate has been going to a basketball clinic once a week and MariCagle looks forward to playing this winter. So the game was a great chance for them to see exactly what basketball is all about. They really enjoyed it. Basketball games move quickly and are only two hours long so the kids were completely entertained, especially when you add popcorn and sodas. :) Check out our pictures from the day....
Checking out this much of campus was new to Brandon too. It was a bit of an exploratory mission for all of us.
Not sure the story behind this tower, but it's just east of the football stadium so lots of tailgating just behind it.
What hams!
This is Lil' Red, one of the two mascots. There's a cute children's story about him that Nate loves. It is a story of good sportsmanship, something for which Husker fans are known.
MC is over 4' now!!
On the way home, we stopped in at a science museum on campus. They have skeletons of mammoths which were actually found throughout Nebraska, hence the large statue outside. We only had a few minutes before they closed. But Nate and MariCagle really enjoyed their first trip to a museum. It was a great weekend!
