women's ncaa tourney

Both the kids played basketball this year, and since the tickets were free (thank you WA homeschool association), we decided to field trip-it to the NCAA Women's Basketball tourney.  I had no idea who was playing, and the kids couldn't care less.  They would have cheered for any team.

As it turned out, however, the game we saw was Oregon vs. Washington State.  Ava couldn't pick a side but boy did she cheer her little heart out.  There was a group of kids about her age in the next section over...I could almost see the tinge of green on her skin.  She wanted to sit with them in the worst way.  At half time the announcer called for all kids to get down to center court.   Ava jumps up, starts climbing over me, and over her shoulder asks "Can I go?"
Me: "Uh...sure?  Don't you want to take Noah?"
Ava: "No, I'm ok."

Off she goes.  This girl, who I thought was my daughter, goes right down to center court and joins the dance party.  They formed a Conga line and everything.  She didn't even know what a Conga line was before today.  Crazy.  Not sure if I should be proud or scared.  As you can see...Noah was super into the games.
