Every year on March 30th I try to do something fun with Maile (and soon Lauren) to commemorate a good friend of mine, Lonny, who passed away 6 years ago.
This year I took her to her first live basketball game – and even better it was a women’s basketball game! (I’ve been watching a lot of the men’s tournament on TV, but Maile’s little mind was blown when I told her we were going to see a game and it would be ALL GIRLS!) We headed down to Stanford and watched the Cardinal beat up on the Lady Lions of Penn State.
Maile and Daddy all ready to cheer on the Cardinal at Maile's first basketball game...
Maile was great – she was super curious about everything going on. I taught her about the scoreboard and the basics of how the game worked. The crowd was fantastic and Maile really got into the cheering and high fives on the big plays. I used to absolutely love going to basketball games with my dad so it was really fun to get Maile started.
All in all, a solid Lonny Day – while perhaps not his sport of choice, I have no doubt he would have gotten a kick out of us cheering in the stands!
