Friday night we had a very lucky chance to go visit the Nuggets Basketball team. We got to play around on the actual court, the kids were able to shoot on the hoops, while George Carl was sitting there watching them. We got great food also! Cade kept going back for more chips and cookies. We also got a picture with "The Bird Man..aka Chris Anderson! He also signed the kids special VIP necklace and the photo! Those basketball players are huge giants in person! They are a total different species! We also got to tour the actual Nugget locker room, and got to see the 2nd basketball court at the Pepsi Center, where the players pratice when another event is going on. The kids also got ballons, face painting, and a picture with Rocky the Mascot. After we were done they gave each of us choice of a stuffed Rocky animal, mini-nugget basketball, or picture frame. Well since I had stepped on Cade's Rocky Ballon (he was being horrible and I told him the next time he threw his ballon I was going to step on it, well I didn't even put pressure on the thing, but it did pop, I know I am a mean mom, I did that while we were touring the locker rooms, so it was quite embarassing to have him crying throughout the entire tour, and he was calling me stupid mom, dumb mom, and kicking me...Maybe he'll learn now to listen to me) the kids picked the Rocky Stuffed animals, Con got a bball and I got the frame. It was a pretty great experience!
