Our favorite team, the Michigan State Spartans, made it to the NCAA Final Four, which is always special. This year, it was even MORE special, because the Final Four was held in Detroit, only 90 miles from campus, so needless to say, it was a sea of Green and White at Ford Field! Josh and I said we would love to go, but we called my mom to have her see how much tickets were going for (we were in NY with no internet access). They were WAY too much, so we thought we would have friends over for the game and watch it on TV instead. Imagine my surprise the next morning when I got a text from my mom, saying she bought us tickets and she's making the 9 hour drive, because she really wanted to see Liam anyway, so she would babysit him for us while we went to the game.
Saturday came, and Josh and I went to hoop city, which would have been great if we had kids ages 5-12, but there wasn't too much for us to do there. We got to see the U.S. Wheelchair Basketball team play, which was fun, and meet the one of the guys from "Harper's Island" a TV show on CBS. We headed over to the game to find out seats at a Green and White Ford Feild and had a GREAT time watching MSU beat U-Conn. They were moving on to the Championship game against UNC!
Monday night we packed back into our seats and got to watch the Temptations sing the National Anthem, and see Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Michael Jordan was also there to be inducted into the hall of fame. We won't mention who won the game, but it was still SO MUCH FUN to be a part of a final four live, especially when the Spartans were in it. THANKS MOM AND DAD!
