Jazz Game!

March 15, 2012

What a great day this was. We all headed to SLC for the Jazz game. This would be Abby and Stockton's first Jazz game. We were all suppose to go to one 3 weeks or so ago, but we had some weather and sickness issues...... But we got very lucky and were able to go to this game instead! The kids were so excited, especially Abby!

On the upper level of Energy Solutions Arena (The Delta Center) there was a play area for kids, we let them play for a couple minutes. It was way nice, and great advertising for someone!

This is Abby in front of the "pregame set" ..... Abby loves to watch pregame at home, so when i snapped this picture she was very excited!

Taking pictures pretty close to courtside. See that lady in the background in the maroon jacket, well she is like an usher or whatever you call it and she was calling us with her hand there to have Abby and Stockton to come down on the court for pictures!

So Abby went......

Then we all went!

Abby asked me why she couldn't go and find Gordy and Big Al so she could talk to them!

Abby snapped a photo of Grandma and Grandpa Allen

This photo is from our seats, lower bowl row 16!

These blow up neck pillows was the free giveaway for the night. It entertained Stockton for a bit during the game!

So the Jazz played the Minnesota Timberwolves and it was a sweet game! They won in overtime! My parents were over sitting in their seats, but for overtime they came over and sat in front of us because a few people had left. So here we are all standing up and getting ready for overtime! It was a crazy, exciting game.

A kid sitting by Abby caught a Jazz ball then gave it to her! She was excited that she asked me if she could sleep with it that night!

I know I mentioned in a previous post that Abby had a slight fear of mascots. Well, when were down courtside taking pictures, a guy that works on the "Bear Crew" which is the Jazz mascot came up to Abby and asked her if she would like to come out at a halftime and dress up in a little bear costume and do a skit with the Bear! The guy said that he noticed her "personality!" We thought it was very ironic that she would get asked to do something with The Bear! Of all things. Needless to say she declined his offer very quickly. It was the cutest thing ever and were bummed she didn't want to do it! I think she regretted it a little, because in the skit she would of had to do a cartwill and somersault, and she told me she would have done it better! We have to work on this fear of mascot thing with Ms. Abby!!

It was such a fun night, and of course we ate at Crown Burger before the game. The ride home wasn't to bad, it took Abby a bit to fall asleep due to her excitement......she did chant defense and offense all night and danced her little heart out because she was trying to get on the jumbotron, it didn't happen....but she sure tried!

I'll say it again.....it was a fun, perfect night!!
