Here comes Biz!!
Who was soooo excited about attending his first University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball game last Saturday????
This guy! That's who!
Eric and I decided at the end of last basketball season that Biz would be old enough this season to make his first trip to Rupp Arena to watch the Big Blue play. His attention span has grown along with his enjoyment of watching the Cats play. Biz is blessed to have a Memaw and Pepaw who have season tickets and were generous enough to allow him to choose any home game that he wanted to attend. As soon as Eric gave him the option, waaaay back in the summer, Biz immediately said he wanted to go to the Kentucky/Georgia game. And that decision never waivered. He knew which game he wanted to see (not sure why he chose the Bulldogs), we looked at the calendar, and determined that it was doable with our schedule.
So, off my boys went to Kentucky for a Guys' weekend. The first of its kind, and boy did they have a blast!! Their first stop was dinner at McDonalds which is a rare treat for the boys. I know, it sounds crazy that we have two children five and under and we are not frequenters of the golden arches. But it was really special for the boys to get to go. Biz had to call to tell me about his Happy meal.
Meem and Peep took excellent care of the Workman boys! The whole week prior to the game, Seth was totally convinced that he was going to Rupp, too. Even though he had been gently told that he had to wait until he was five-years-old to go, he still did not give up hope. Luckily, when game time rolled around, he didn't put up too much of a fight. I mean, afterall, it is hard to pass up a fun time hanging out with Memaw and Pepaw...even for Rupp Arena.
However, when game time rolled around for Daddy and Biz, I don't think there was anywhere else Biz would have rather been. Eric had a difficult time getting a good shot of Biz's reaction when the Cats took the floor, but you get the idea.
The Wildcats did not disappoint and beat the Georgia Bulldogs 76-68. A much closer game than we were anticipating, but a win is a win, making them 16-0!! (18-0 as of today) Go Cats!!
And my boys made sure that I got to be a part of the big day at Rupp, too!
