CU Buffs Game

Though I haven't had season tickets for any CU sports in almost 15 years, they were a huge part of my childhood as a kid growing up in Boulder.  I have even saved some of my old CU clothes and now Gavin is wearing my old ralphie stampeder shirts from when I was his age.  I finally had the chance to take Gavin to his first basketball game when a friend had an extra pair of tickets and I jumped at the opportunity.  We had watched quite a bit of basketball on TV but he has never been to a live game so it was quite the experience.  We started off with a tour of the offices and practice facility which is underneath the ground off to the side of the main events center.  We finally made our way up to the events center and here is Gavin on the way down to our seats.  You can see the court in the background. 

I was not quite sure how he would do, as both Gavin and Gage are still a bit squirmy when having to sit in once place for long periods of time.  Gavin did awesome, though he was a bit quiet during the game.  I think he was just taking it all in as he talks about it being one of the best experiences he had all year.  It was also quite a late night for him but he held strong.  We also ended up winning which makes it easier to cheer and be a fan at his age.  I was happy to be able to get to experience it with him.  It's hard to believe over 30 years ago I was likely in this same events center watching games with my parents.
