Free Tickets

A few Saturdays ago, we went to a "minor league" basketball game. 

Peter's coworker had given him some free tickets.

We found out upon arrival that they were vouchers to get tickets and they must have given away a ton of them because there were a million people!

We were told we could sit in one of two sections and to take whatever seats to sit in unless someone with an actual ticket for that seat came along. There were not very many sets of 6 seats together.

 We found these that were kind of together but were not great by any means. We had not planned on staying for the whole game anyway due to 8:30 am church the next day. 

 We watched the game, watched people, and enjoyed being together. 

 There was one player on the Texas team that was 7 foot 8 inches- he was huge!!!

 The halftime was all about a fallen soldier and a portrait that was being presented to his family. It was really patriotic and of course made me cry. 

We just could not resist taking pictures of our kids behind the cardboard cutouts of the heavily tattooed players. And yes, that was the better of the pics of Joey- he does not smile well or look at the camera well if he is distracted. I think the part the kids liked the best was the good humor ice cream cones we stopped and picked up at Wal-mart on the way home.
