I signed Sophie up for the UO cheerleaders clinic for kids which was held last Saturday (January 19th). While Sophie was attending the pre-game clinic, Lillie came over to visit Jon and me. Lillie arrived dressed for the game. Note the “O” decal near her eye. Sophie and I were also wearing decals.

We took EmX rapid transit bus from Eugene to Springfield for lunch at the Pump Cafe, which is a converted gas station.

Jon and Lillie talking about what to order.

Lillie thought the blue cheese dressing that came with my salad was a great dip for her toasted cheese sandwich.

Sit back and enjoy.

EmX took us back to the UO and we walked up to Mac Court to watch the Oregon women’s team play Washington. Shad and Becky joined us for the game. Sophie was sitting with the other Jr. Cheerleaders in the opposite end of the court. It took binoculars to pick her out of the crown of blond heads and yellow shirts. The junior cheerleaders were the half-time entertainment, so I slipped out of my seat a few minutes early to go down and catch them lining up in the hall, waiting for their entrance.

It was an exciting game with the Oregon team winning by two points. Lillie and Sophie began to lose interest after half time, but they stuck it out to the end.
