Believe it or not, Gabriella had never gone to a live sporting event before tonight. Nona decided to take her to the TU CBI championship game with her, Papa, Uncle Greg, Aunt Jacinda and Uncle David. Uncle Greg got front row tickets! She had a great time. Nona said her eyes were as wide as saucers, looking around at all the people, hearing all the noise, and checking out all the action.

Here is she, raring to go. Go TU! Go TU!
(Too bad we didn’t get a picture of her at the game…)

Gabriella was just as excited to see it as her daddy. Of course we both wore our Kings jerseys. There was a reporter from the Tulsa World there and he interviewed us for a story he was doing and we ended up making the cut. The story named us both and even had a quote from Daddy.

Here we are:

“I was in awe even when I was still outside looking at it through the glass,” said 37-year-old Los Angeles Kings fan Michael Eng, who dropped by the U.S. Cellular store near 71st Street and Garnett Road to bask in the cup’s gleam with his 3-year-old daughter, Gabriella.
