Jazz Game

On Tuesday Tony, Tyler, and myself went to a Jazz game with my sister Sherri and her husband Richard. Richards brother, Mark Madsen, plays for the Timberwolves and so he was able to get us some tickets for the game. It was tons of fun. We met up with Sherri and Richard at the Trax station and then took Trax down to the ESA (I still totally think of it as the Delta Center). That was Tyler's first time on Trax and he really enjoyed the ride.
Once we got there we had to pick up the tickets from Will Call, and then we headed to our seats. We had really good seats on the side behind the basketball hoop. We even had the blow up things that you whack together to distract the player trying to make a free throw. At first I was really worried that Tyler would get bored and restless, but he did really good. He LOVED playing with the blow up sticks and climbing in and out of his seat. He loves balls and did really good watching part of the game. We were close enough that he could see the players playing really well and pointed out the ball a lot.
It was a really close game too. Mark didn't get to play, so that was too bad, but we did get to go and talk with him after the game. That was fun to wait around and see some of the players. We had to put on special stickers that allowed us to stay there after the game. We had met Mark before and he is always such a nice guy. After that we went back to the Trax and went home. It was a really fun night and we are way thankful to Sherri and Richard for thinking of us and letting us go and see the game.
