Yesterday, Conner, Sydnee, and I attended the UNLV vs Utah game. Sheldon, his brother Jeff, and his dad each bought a couple tickets for six UNLV games this year. Because Dad Paul is still healing from his fall he wasn't able to go so we took his extra ticket. We arrived a few minutes late, and I don't think Sydnee has spent much time watching basketball. She easily became engaged and asked a few questions, but she wasn't quite sure about us singing the UNLV, Go, Fight, Win song... that was until the second half. In typical UNLV style this season, they came out and couldn't keep up with Utah the first half. Utah was playing incredible basketball and UNLV could only get a few baskets to drop. So at half we were down by at least ten (I sometimes forget all the stats). Much to our enjoyment, UNLV came out and played an incredible second half. They started running the ball and moving things along. As we were closing the gap I wished I could have captured Sydnee's excitement. We all had it, but she now understood why we sang the UNLV Go, Fight, Win song and she was doing it right along with everyone else. At one point we were just 3 points down and had the ball, Conner told Sydnee to yell and at the top of her lungs she was clappping and screaming for UNLV (she told me she felt like she was going to lose her voice - we all know how that feels). UNLV won by 10. It was a fun afternoon to spend with Conner, Sydnee, Jeff and Mason.
