December Adventures in Naples & Ames

The Wildcats kicked off their season at home with an amazing buzzer beater victory over the two time defending Division 2 European champions!

The play!

So happy to have our girl cheering loud in the stands!

Meanwhile in Ames, Air Force ROTC Detachment 250 held their holiday Dining In.  Each year was assigned a music genre to dress as and first years had country music. 🤠 

Camden is in the back row, third from the left with a dark baseball cap.

Saturday morning, back in the Wildcat gym, Emma ran the clock.

After the basketball game, we headed to Parco del Grassano for their Christmas Market.

Mel, Emma, Sherri, Desirae, Ron, and Chris enjoyed their first cup of vin brule.

Lots of fun photo opportunities with the light installations 

Camden got his first big dose of an Iowa winter on Saturday.  The Air Force Arnold Society went to the local cemetery to lay wreaths for Veterans. He's in the front on the left all bundled up.

So happy to have his girl home!
