Late Night Fiasco

We live in Lawrence, Kansas and that means that basketball is everything!  So on the first day that the team is allowed to practice together for the season there is an event called Late Night at Allen Fieldhouse.  My mom wouldn't let me go because it was going to be too loud but I hear it is super fun.  The basketball players do skits and there is a scrimmage and they always play a really cool video that gets you pumped up for the season.  There was going to be a ton of people so my mom and dad and a few friends who were in town headed up to the fieldhouse at 3:45 and doors opened at 5:30.  The show started at 6:00.  When they got there the people were everywhere.  Lines going in all sorts of directions and about thirty minutes before the doors were going to open my dad found out that his friend and his backpacks were not going to be allowed in.  They decided to run home to drop them off.  While they were gone they opened the doors early!!  People forgot all about the lines and it was madness.  People just turned and started running towards the fieldhouse.  Mom was worried because dad wasn't back yet but she didn't know that he got in a side door and was already inside.  Mom kept her eyes on her friends in front of her and one friend behind her.  She inched closer to the door and it was wall to wall people.  She got about three rows away from the door and all of a sudden the doors shut.  All of her friends except one got in and she was left outside.  So after about 30 minutes of waiting in a swarm of very angry people mom decided it wasn't worth it and she went home by herself.  Dad kept calling to apologize but she just picked me up early and loved on me instead of watching basketball players do silly skits.  So it was definitely a crazy evening but I got lots of snuggles so I am happy!
Saturday was the KU homecoming football game so we went to tailgate super early.  I love to tailgate because I love to be near people and my mom let me eat all kinds of food that probably wasn't very good for me.  I got passed around and watched some kiddos play football which I thought looked awesome.  That night I got to go to dinner with three out of four of my grandparents and that was super fun.  I love to spend time with them.  Here are some pictures from our crazy week.  Tomorrow I will tell you all about the photo shoot for my one year pictures and how I ate at Strouds for the first time.  The last time I went I was still too little to eat anything but today I chowed and it was unforgettable.
