Mikayla loved watching all the people and playing with the pom-poms from a little girl behind us.&#160; Even though it was well past her bedtime and went into double overtime, she still had a blast.&#160; However, I would say her favorite part of the game was meeting Big Red.&#160; After she got up close with him and took her picture she kept pointing to him around the gym.&#160; It was so sweet!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kickert.info\/beth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/November044.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;
