Game Day!

Yesterday was Game Day! Rick's nephew is the strength coach for the Sacramento Kings basketball team - they played the Phoenix Suns, and we all went to cheer 🙂. It was quite an exciting game! 

They introduced the players along with shooting flames 

It's starting!

There must have been a mascot invitational! There were a good half-dozen!

I caught a few plays on video...

I have one, of the last basket attempt before going into overtime (honest!), but it won't load 🙄

Well, the Kings gave them a run for their money, but the Suns won.

Here's some post-game joy, Brandon and JoJo

Here's the gold that let us into the family rooms 😁

~~~

Details:

We parked right at the stadium - got there by 2pm, and snagged one of the last unreserved spots.

We met the others shortly after, but it turned out that my purse was too big! So Cheryce walked back to the car with me to lock it up...

On our way back, a staff member recognized her, and arranged for all of us to get family passes!

Next, we showed our vaccination passes and IDs. 

Then on to the security station - scan, wand, bags...

Inside, we headed to the family room, grabbed some food and drinks, and then back to our seats. JoJo collected all sorts of goodies - a pompom, basketball, headband with ears...

Aaaaand, then the game (see above 🤣)

After, there were pictures with mascots.

When we got to the car (detour, as I got a bit lost in the double parking garage!), I drove out, flashed the friends and family code, and off we went!

The NBA does take care of their staff!
