Well a lot has changed around Ames recently as the students are back, and classes for the fall semester started this week. We're looking forward to having Nolan start his first day of kindergarten this coming Monday. The great thing about back to school time is that it also means the fall sports season is here :)
Today Elizabeth and I were able to take to boys to our first ISU sporting event of the season - Iowa State's
home opening volleyball game vs. Ole Miss. The 21st ranked Cyclones swept the Rebels in 3 sets (25-21, 25-11, 25-19). The kids seemed to have fun at the game... even if they didn't exactly watch the game itself. Of course we split a clone cone so the boys could have their ice cream fix. Then they spent most of the time just being silly and playing in the aisles where we sat. Cy the mascot did come up and sit by us, which was cool. I tried to take Maxwell over to him at one point for a picture, but Maxwell was too scared when we got up close to Cy.
I believe that this is the third year in a row that we've seen the home opening volleyball game for the Cyclones. Last year we saw
the game against Kent State, and in 2016 we saw the Cyclones play
Wichita State.
