Matthew Knight Arena

Originally we were planning on driving over to the coast this past Saturday, but after we found out the forecast  at the coast was suppose to be cold and rainy all day, we decided to postpone that trip.  Then I saw online that the Duck's Women's basketball games for the last 3 Saturday games were only $2! So instead, we headed down to Eugene to go watch some bball and check out the brand new UofO Matthew Knight Arena that was just completed! We were dying to go check it out anyways, and were able to convince Grandpa, Grandma Sue and Heather to meet us and come to the game as well! It was really fun, even though the Ducks lost in the end, and we really enjoyed checking out the whole arena.  It is really nice and has some really neat murals all over from some of the best teams from U of O history.  It was fun to see one mural of Aaron Brooks last second shot in the game against UCLA to win it.  That was while John was still going to the U of O and we were there at the game! It was fun to try to see if we could find ourselves in the crowd. :)

Anyways, after the game John's parents took us all out to eat at Outback Steakhouse.....mmmmm. So tasty! I'm so glad we went down to Eugene! The boys also had a GREAT time.  Jackson really loved the bball game.  Here's our pictures from the day!


Even though this is one of the Oregon girl's getting stuffed, it's still a sweet picture John got...

The Duck


 Not sure if there's any difference between these two pictures, but they are two different ones!
