WSU Volleyball Game

Just when you thought Ben was all smiles all the time...here is a photo without any smiles. Sam has been wanting to go to a WSU volleyball game for many months now. Every time we drive past the arena on campus where they play (it's on the way to church) Sam states that he wants to go to a volleyball game. Finally the season started this weekend and we ventured out along with 6,020 others to watch WSU play KSU. Ben did great for the first couple of matches, then he just couldn't fall asleep. There were too many people to watch, and too much noise. We even went out of the arena to the concourse a couple of times, hoping that I could just get him to fall asleep, then go back and watch the game. But there were more people to watch out there too. We tried to get a shot of the boys together, but Ben was uncooperative.

I'm not sure you can see it, but Sam has Trident gum in his mouth. He has been asking for gum as a "snack." After several sticks of Juicy Fruit, we decided that if he was going to chew this much gum, we should find something sugarless. Sam selected the "tropical twist" flavor, commonly known as the "orange gum." We've learned to never leave home without it.

Sam was entralled with WU shock, the mascot for WSU. He met him at the game, and couldn't stop talking about him. "Where is Wu Shock?" "Wu Shock has a big nose." We should have tried to get a picture of them together. Maybe next time.
