But then Logan called and said he was coming home for the weekend. Jim already had tickets to the Razorback game FOR WORK (har har), so if we did the Crystal Bridges thing...and then the basketball game...we would be gone ALL DAY.
I really didn't want to miss visiting with Logan, so we bailed on Crystal Bridges and, as Joshua says, "hanged around" here with the boys all morning.
We ended up leaving here around 1 and headed up to Fayetteville. Jim was able to get 3 tickets, so we brought Joshua with us. We had a pretty uneventful trip until we got close to the stadium, and then the traffic was INSANE! Worse than usual. We found out why during half-time of the game. We finally found a parking place and then
Jim had the "box" with his work, so we had good seats, good food, and a great view.
The best part of the game...well, the best part of the game is that we won. The NEXT best part was half-time. They honored members of the 1994 National Championship basketball team, and 5 other "Final Four" teams, complete with trainers and coaches. Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson were both there, along with all of the "big name" former players. The biggest event, tho, was that former President Bill Clinton was there, and led the entire arena in calling the Hogs!
Joshua was in all his glory with all of the fanfare! I just wish he could've gotten his picture made with Bill Clinton. Politics and being a former President aside...he is a part of Arkansas history, and many people here really like that he comes back to his home state.
We had a great time! We stopped for ice-cream on the way home. Joshua doesn't like ice-cream, so he got a Sprite. He said, "this is my 2nd Sprite today!" It was kind of a big deal, because he typically just drinks water. We all drink a lot of water in our family. I said, "yes, you'll have to get back to drinking more water tomorrow." He looked at me and said, "well YOU had a lot of Diet Coke today."
Little rat.
