Pacer Fun

I've taken Rachel to a lot of special places lately, so tonight it was Aaron's turn.  You'll notice he's not wearing his glasses...he got contacts last week and is thrilled to have them!  We ended up with Pacer tickets courtesy of Lusk Entertainment...aka Uncle Daniel.  It was the last home game so it was Fan Appreciation night which included among other things $1 Pepsi's and popcorn...BONUS!!  So after stopping at Wendy's for dinner we headed downtown.

We were handed our programs and complimentary posters by sequin clad Pacemates. No, I didn't take a photo! Right off we passed a table where Jeff Foster was signing autographs. There was hardly a line, so Aaron jumped in and got his poster signed. Then we made our way to Boomer's table and grabbed an autograph there. Time for the game.

We were in row 30 of section 20. Not bad seats at all. The game was never really close, but it was a lot of fun anyway.

We started out with this view, but with 6 minutes left in the game and people starting to leave, Aaron and I made our way down to row 15 where our view improved to this:

They had announced that there would be special entertainment after the game, so stick around. After the game was over some people started to go further on down to the court. I told Aaron, "Lets see how close we can get. We'll go until someone tells us to stop." We walked onto the edge of the court and some of the players came out and started handing out signed balls, shoes, and jerseys. We didn't snag any of those, but Aaron got another autograph for his poster.

And we can now say we got to stand on the court. It was a great night and I had a lot of fun with a great kid!
