Blessings


One of the families that Zach recently helped move called him up and asked him how many tickets he could reserve for us at the Sprint Center for the Harlem Globe Trotters Basket Ballgame in January. Zach told him he didn't need to do that but the guy worked at the Sprint Center and was able to get them for free and could reserve them for us. So we got 5 so we all could go. What a blast! I cashed in some of my points I get from reading emails and got us a $50 gift certificate to eat at the Olive Garden before the game (you can do the math for all the emails I had to read to get this. 6500 points is what it cost and I get 5 points/email) But it was all worth it! We had a great night and the kids sure loved the game/show!Dylan getting all the confetti off of us. They threw it right at us. It looked like a bucket of water, and as we had just watched them throw a cup of water and a bucket of water on the fans on the other side of the court we all flinched when the bucket was tossed our direction, but to our surprise it was full of confetti. Dylan loved it. Kendall had a total look of terror at first but once she realized she wasn't covered in water she was all smiles again.
She sat in her own chair most of the game. She loved to have it in the up position so that she was a little bit higher and could see more. Just over half way I look over just in time to see her stand up on the chair in this "up" position and say "ta da!" The people just behind us almost had a heart attack as she stood up and they were almost faster than I was at getting her back down.
Dylan sat in between Zach and I. He had such a great time.

Carter sat by his friends. We weren't the only family there with free tickets from our ward. Turns out the Bishop with 2 of his sons and another family with a son Carter's age came too. We all really enjoyed the show.
These guys started out sitting on chairs if you look closely. Then the guy with the magic hat took all the chairs away and the guys stayed put.

Some of our favorite stunts were the baby they took from a spectator who then spit up on the players and the audience (turns out it was a doll, with silly string). Also when one player grabed another player from behind and his jersey fell off in his hands. and third when they handed a player the ball to shoot a free throw and the ball just went up up up up up and away!

If you ever have the chance to go. I would recommend it we had a great time.
