The Harlem Globetrotters

The Easter Bunny brought the boys two tickets each to go and see the Harlem Globetrotters. They were nice enough to take Mommy and Daddy!
They did pretty good sitting for 2 hours. Carter was losing interest closer to the end but then something got his attention and all was good.
We had really good seats.
The boys really liked the mascot, Globie. He did some tricks before the game.
Logan was really into the game and cheered when the Globetrotters scored.

Here the main Globetrotter is giving a player from the other team to a fan as a souvenir!

There was a flag on the play, so they went into a game of football instead of basketball. The boys really laughed when the player bent over, kept tooting in the face of the guy behind him.
Globie's big brother came out and did some tricks. Again, Logan loved him!
At half time I went down and bought the boys a basketball and a program. Carter held onto that ball and wasn't letting go!
Cheering!
Harlem Globetrotters - 75 Washington Generals - 66
Our own little Trotter!
He was pretty proud of himself to do this trick.
Once the game was over, the players were giving autographs. We went and stood in line to get the Big Easy to sign the basketball. He signed the ball and the program and the boys got their picture taken with him. You'll need to go on line @ www.harlemglobetrotters.com/fanphotos and select the city Medicine Hat and then Gallery 11. They should be the first picture. You'll see the cost is just outrageous and this is why one won't be bought!
The boys also were asked to do a quick interview on our local CHAT news about the game. I have the tivo set so I'll be sure to see if they made it.
Thanks for the fun family night Easter Bunny!!

The boys look so teeny (and SHORT) next to that giant Globetrotter. Tell Carter I wanna see a trick with that basketball next time we come for a visit.
