Let's Go Zips!!!

Andy is such a stud!  He stays up on fun *free* opportunities for our family and for others!  The University of Akron had a family-night.  You reserved and paid for your tickets 6 weeks in advance, only knowing the date of the basketball game, that you would have seats, that you would be served dinner, and that your money would be returned to you when you showed up to the game.  (No catch - there was a disclaimer that the game might be televised - we think they were trying to guarantee a larger audience.)
 So, we got together with a bunch of Zips LDS fans and went to a basketball game!  It was a blast having so many friends together; one family is was their first college sporting event!  This picture is most of our group, minus Andy and the guy in the red on the far left - I think we bought 32 tickets.  Below are the kids with Zippy - between him and the Chick-fil-a cow, the little ones were very entertained!
 One of the new law students this year has twin girls that are 4 months older than Emily - they are so darn cute together!!!  (They have an older sister Annie's age named Emily and their dad is Ben; it's a little bit confusing!)  Ring-around-the-rosie over and over!!!
 Halftime downstairs with pizza and salad - although not just any pizza - Papa John's!!!  We've only had it once since we've lived here because it's kind of far away, so we've learned to love Hungry Howie's, but this night brought back memories of home!  They ran out of plates and waters, but it was a fabulous night!
 Another group of friends.  Each family had a little baby with Mitchell the youngest at 3 months and Gwen the oldest at 9 months - except for the newly wedded Summers!
Such a fun night - especially when the Zips won!  Thanks, Andy, for paying attention to the fliers on campus!  Thanks to UofA for realizing some students have families!!!  So fun to attend a college game - makes me long for the BYU days!  Speaking of....go Jimmer!!!

What a fun night! Not quite a Mavs game, but I guess for Mitchell's first, it will be ok. Are those pigs in Em's hair?!?!? Too cute!

Looks like you guys had a good time. I talked with Jen while she was here and she said that they had a great time! It's good to see all of our friends again, (even if it is in a picture).
