Tip-off between ISU and UMKC.

Today was Nolan's first time going to an Iowa State men's basketball game!!  We only stayed for the first half of the game because it was getting past his bedtime, but it was no longer a competitive game by that time anyways.  The Cyclones played against the University of Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos, and the game was a blow-out from the start.  Iowa State led by a score of 52-17 at halftime, and they ended up winning 110-51.  It's worth noting that before the game Iowa State came in ranked #17 in the country by the AP (or #22 by the USA Today Coach's Poll).  I believe that this was the first time I've attended a men's game where Iowa State has been ranked at the time.  

We're also looking forward to Thanksgiving later this week!  Our plan is to head up to Eben & Lynn's place Wednesday night, stay there until Friday, then on Friday and Saturday we will have another Thanksgiving in Macon City with Elizabeth's side of the family.  It should be a fun time to see everyone!
