This weekend was Family Day for UVA Men's Basketball. That meant that kids got in the game for $5 each. Not the case for their parents, but we got seats way up high so it wasn't too expensive. It was quite an adventure and the kids did great throughout. Really made me realize how much easier outings are now, at 3 1/2 years old, than they were a year ago.
Free parking was far away, so we rode a shuttle bus to and from the game. No pics of the ride to the game - the bus was crowded and we had to stand. Here's a pic of them waiting for dad to buy tickets outside the arena.
After a long climb we made it to our seats. They were amazed by the view.
Lucas insisted we get snacks, and when he came with me to the snack counter he of course he insisted we get three snacks "for me and my sisters". As we approached our seats with our goodies he shouted "hey sisters, I've got snacks for you!"
Our shuttle bus ride on the way back. We stayed through halftime and then left because they were getting restless and hungry. The kids enjoyed having the bus to themselves.
Blurry pic b/c the bus was moving, but love this smirk. We're seeing a lot of it these days.
After the game we went to a pizza place that was surprisingly kid friendly. They brought out globs of dough for the kids to play with, along with the usual crayons & paper, and cute plastic cups with lids and straws. Unfortunately, the girls decided they weren't hungry and Jason and I had to rush through our food. We've gotten used to being able to finish our meals at restaurants so this was a reminder that the kids aren't always eager to eat.
Overall, it was a fun family outing. Another activity to cross off our list of "things we wanted to do when we had kids". It was tiring though - we don't need to do it again this year!
