Globetrotters!

There's a funny story behind this one....Last year, Connor noticed the adds for the Globetrotters and since the Globetrotters and Scooby-doo are good friends, he thought it would be cool to see them. Well, unfortunately the Globetrotters were playing the same time as Aunt Jolyn's wedding weekend last year. When I told him this, for a while he thought that the Globetrotters were coming to Aunt Jolyn's wedding. Can you imagine his 3 year old brain at the time??? Globetrotters spinning balls and doing tricks in the church while Jolyn walks down the aisle! Ha-ha!
This year we decided to surprise him and go see the Globetrotters. We gave him clues; red,white, & blue....you can eat popcorn there...he decided it was the movies. I told him that it would be lighted up, maybe it was Chuck E. Cheese's........we said that there would be a thousand people there....then he was speechless......we got inside Wells Fargo Arena and he still didn't know what was going on until we showed him the spinning ball on the digital screen.....he smiled and said he liked his surprise!

Connor wanted a good look at the players, even though we had good seats!
Special K and another player cleaning up popcorn off the floor, gave it back to the girl and a boy came along and ate from it not knowing where it had been!

We had a good time. Connor really got into their jokes and would cheer and clap for both teams. His favorite part was when Special K pulled down the other player's shorts and then that player pulled down Special K's! My favorite was when they did a play and did it all in rewind....it was cool! They are fun to watch and all the proceeds go to good will and for medicine in Africa.
