BIG? Yes. Don was inducted at the state tournament into the Iowa Basketball Hall of Fame and Vicky turns 65 on the same day. Plus both of our kids and their families came to Des Moines to help us celebrate.
Don and I flew into Omaha on Thursday afternoon after spending the night in Denver because we attended the Denver Nuggets game. Flying into Omaha was much cheaper than into Des Moines. We enjoyed our Friday attending a few of the state tournament games and eating out at 801 Chop House to celebrate my birthday.
Friday evening Melissa, Scott, Landon and Owen came from Cedar Rapids and Brent with April, Cade, Kasen and Cam arrived late from Brownsburg, IN. We all enjoyed our suites at the Residence Inn.

Saturday afternoon we attended a reception for the Hall of Fame inductees at the Hall of Pride. They introduced the six coaches and eight players that were going into the Hall of Fame. Then we were escorted to the arena where they were introduced at the half time of the 3A championship game.
