We ventured to Ames for Family Weekend 2010, and Brooke's 1st Cyclone experience! We started with Great Plains pizza for supper at a bonfire at the stadium... we spent the night at the Holiday Inn Express - Brooke slept in a crib, Neela slept with Mommy, and Kylie slept with Daddy. The next morning, we went swimming (do you know how many times we were asked about that??).
After our swim, we got cleaned up, put on our Cy clothes and tattoos, picked up Hickory Park for lunch, and headed to the "Football Party" (i.e. TAILGATE!). We joined the Grimes and Simodynes clans for an afternoon of fun - and chili!!

Can you picture the girls as cheerleaders 15 years from now posing with football players??? |

Kylie & Neela made it into the game - and to the top row of section N (top row, upper deck). That's a lot of walking for 3 year olds! They watched the first half, and they didn't get to see "Big Cy" (we may never live that down!). However, they are already asking when they get to go to another game... Daddy may have found his football fans!
PS: This week, Brooke looked right at Cy and said "Cy"... what a Cyclone!
