Yep, that's the game ball!

Daddy and I went to the Iowa- Northern Iowa basketball game on Tuesday night.  In the middle of the second half, the referee walked up to me and handed me the game ball!  He said, "Can you hold onto this for me for a minute?"  Sure, no problem!  I held onto that beautiful hunk of leather for dear life as the players rested for a time out.  When the game started up again, I tossed in the ball!  Cool, huh?

The game was really cool.  We sat right on the court, next to the cheerleaders, and in front of the student section.   There was always so much going on!  I got to high-five Herky a few times and even gave him a peck on the cheek!

Here are some more pictures from the game.  I grabbed the camera from daddy and took some pictures myself.

 I'm ready for it to start!

 We got to sit right up front!
 Basketball can be so intense!
 Yay, Herky!
 Self portrait- I took this one!
I liked this cheerleader- I took this one and several others like it!

Check out this video of me dancing:

Sophie,
You are a natural! I am not sure what to say but Go Girl! I love the "Intensity" shot of you - I like basketball, too - it is so fast, never a dull moment.
I miss you - see you in Jan and keep dancing! Love, Gran

I enjoyed all the pictures especially the self portrait- I can tell that you really understood the importance of holding the game ball -wow- what an honor. Great dance moves-
