Real Weekend Plans

Posted on February 3, 2008 No Comments

For Christmas the wife got the family tickets to a Nuggets basketball game. The school district was sponsoring “Douglas County Schools” night and she hooked us up.

I was excited to go — been here 7 years and haven’t seen a bball game yet — but was a bit concerned about seats. Honestly, I figured we’d be up at the very top of the building. So, imagine our pleasant surprise when we picked up our tickets at Will Call and found that we were in club level.
Here is a picture of the wife and kids:

And here is a picture of moi and the kids:

And again, I apologize for the blurry pics — my camera phone is acting a bit dodgy…

Oh, I also had the chance to show the family the blimps that I helped with earlier this week. Here’s a [blurry] shot of all 3 in the air in front of us:

The game was great. It started out pretty rough — the Bobcats were consistently ahead the first 3 periods. The 4th period started with the Nuggets 10 points down, but then they went to town and won it by 16!

Carmelo Anthony was back from five nights off which was pretty sweet. He and Alan Iverson combined for 49 points. Linas Kleiza, a fellow I’ve never really heard of, exploded in the fourth with 16 of his 23 points. He was on fire and great fun to watch as he really took it to ‘em at the end. He’s one to keep an eye on.
The 4 older members of the family were definitely engaged right up to the end. Ben was… tired, but he was a trooper and hung in there with no complaints.

I’ll be working the blimp crew for this month’s upcoming Jazz and Celtics games and I’m definitely looking forward to watching more ball.

Today will be a casual day of hanging out. Tonight my brother and family are coming up to watch commercials and a bit of football with us. We have tons of great football food planned and I plan to gain a few pounds
