sonic boom
Thursday night we took Z to see his first NBA game - the Seattle Supersonics versus the Boston Celtics. I wasn't sure how long he would last - tip off was at bathtime (a.k.a. 7:30pm) which meant that half time would be around bed time (a.k.a. 9pm). I was amazed at how well he did.
He and John ran one lap around Key Arena during the 1st quarter, he ran another lap with me during the 2nd quarter and went for a 3rd lap with J during the 4th quarter. Z clapped when the crowd cheered and danced when the music played. When in our seats, he either sat in his own seat and watched the game, or sat on one of our laps as we provided color commentary in his ear, or had a snack or interacted with fans around us. He is a social creature - to be sure - he is also an athletic creature - earlier in the day he ran the entire path of the aquarium in 45 minutes (plus the 3 laps at the Key...I need to figure out how far he ran in one day).
His two favorite parts of the game were:
1. the blimp that flies around and drops envelopes with free stuff
2. the dancers - he literally drooled during the half-time show.
With 2 minutes left in the game and no chance for the Sonics to win, we threw in the towel and congratulated ourselves on another fun family adventure.
