Jazz Game

Last night we got to go to a Jazz game thanks to our friends who have season tickets. It was also Jr. Jazz night, so Austin already had a ticket with his team. So we left early, so we thought, to get a bite to eat and then head to the game. Well, Saturday night anywhere, you wait at least 30 minutes to get in anywhere, then the traffic is another thing. Well we were hoping to park close, because it was really raining HARD! No such luck, since we were late getting there. We parked 2 blocks away, which seemed further cause of the rain. Three of us had hats and the other 3 did not. Well Taylee and I were 2 of the 3 without hats and our hair is the most important right?


Well needless to say, we looked like drowned rats when we walked in the bathroom when we got there. And to make it even more true, a lady in the bathroom asked us if it was raining that hard? We said yes, can you tell?

Well Chris took Austin & his friend Trace to their seats which were the opposite side of ours and in the rafters, while the girls & I sat in our seats.
Chris came back just as the first quarter was almost over. He said that Austin's ticket was by a scary man and Trace's seat, someone else was sitting in, and he had the same ticket as him! So he searched for other people he knew and finally found his coach, and found seats close by him, so they could be watched. He said it was crazy how everyone was scattered and no one was sitting by their teams!

We had good seats though. Taylee comented that these were not close seats! But we showed her where Austin was sitting, then she thought our seats were great!

Brinley has something to do with loving mascots! She loved watching the BEAR! We got a picture of him riding his bicycle down the stairs and off a jump. He was very entertaining to watch.

We all thought it was cool to see the "Guys that are on TV", in real life! They sat just 1/2 a section from us the whole game, really cool!

Austin & Trace after the game. Austin purchased himself a b-ball for a rememberance. Thanks Francis family for the tickets!

What a fun family activity, too bad about the rain though that probably would have ruined my night if my hair was sopping wet! Poor Taylee and you! THe bear is always my favorite thing to watch at Jazz games, I couldn't agree more with Brinley!

Well that is kinda crazy that the kids weren't really by their teams. Must have made you kinda nervous leaving him. Funny about the lady's comment about the rain, how the heck did she think you got that wet. Stupid lady. Still looks like fun though, we still haven't gotten the chance to go to a game this year. Well thiago has, but I have not.

So jr jazz tickets to the Cavs? Holy cow what a great game usually you get to watch one of the worst teams. Very cool I am jealous we wanted to go to that game so bad but it was sold out. Looks like you had fun. Kalea says hi to Taylee btw.

Getting wet on your way to something is not fun. Hope you all warmed up and glad you enjoyed the game.
