Trip To Mount Michael

The championship banners are a nice touch in "The Palace."

  The girls and I ventured west to Mount Michael tonight to take in a Knights basketball game. It was the first time I've been out there for a basketball game in many, many years and it was quite a different experience than I remember.

First, we arrived very early, thinking it would be hard to get a seat. That didn't prove to be the case. Secondly, the Knights are not very good. They had won one game coming into the night and they didn't beat South Sioux City in this game.

But what was memorable was the wicked ping-pong game between the girls during third quarter action. And the post-game stop at Arby's was fun, too. Here's a little gallery to recap it all.

Julia (right) and Olivia were ready to receive.

A more relaxed moment of the action.

Veronica was on Emily's side.

There were plenty of paddles.

The stop at Arby's was quite a blast.

Veronica asked if there was something stuck in her teeth.

And then Julia (left) seemed to have the same problem with her lava cake.
