Fall Break for the kids started on Friday, October 15. Brad took a four day weekend to spend some time with the kids while they were off and to work on the land/house that my parents just bought. We got up early Friday morning and headed out to the land/house to work until early afternoon. Then around 2:00, we headed to Bloomington for Hoosier Hysteria. The kids had no idea where we were going, it was a complete surprise. I love surprising my kids and very rarely get the chance to do so. Brad and I had on Indiana gear but thought the kids would figure it out if they were wearing it too. I packed their IU sweatshirts and my camera and hid them in the back of the van. We were about 5-10 minutes outside of Bloomington when the kids started to ask questions. The first was, "Are we going to Bloomington"? Then the next was, "Are we going to an IU game"? We kept saying you're getting closer and closer and then Jordan guessed. Jacob had never been before, so it was a new experience for him. He watches the Hoosiers play on t.v. and knows they are in Bloomington but he's never been to Hoosier Hysteria before. We ate at Wendy's and then headed to Assembly Hall. We stood in line for an hour to get autographs then the pep rally started. It was so fun, Jordan is so into basketball. Jacob was so tired, I think he could have cared less to be there but did perk up once they played a short game. Once it was over, we headed down to the court and Jordan met all the players and got everyone's autograph. It was so much fun and I am so glad the surprise played out!!!
