Go Nuggets!

Jake was given the opportunity to get free tickets to a Denver Nuggets basketball game. Who could say no to that? So, we decided to take Jake's parents with us to the game since they had never been to a game since the team moved to the Pepsi Center. This was also going to be Makenzie's first NBA game! Our seats were in the sixth row from the floor. You know, everytime we go to a game I have the same constant amazement. I remember playing basketball as a kid and the court seemed so big and took forever to travel up and down. Watching these guys go from sideline to sideline took less than 10 strides. It is just jaw-dropping to me not only how tall these guys are but how truly small they make the court look! We were all a little concerned before the game was to start...our three star players (Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Andersen) were all out with injuries, so we weren't quite sure what to expect.

Everyone had a great time and like always Makenzie was the little flirt and attention seeker from anyone who took their eyes off the game. She had her first hotdog and little bits of popcorn. She had so much fun going from me and Grandma to Dad and Grandpa, who were sitting behind us.

Oh NO!!! They scored!!!

GO Nuggets GO!!!

The game was exciting! The score going back and forth the whole four quarters. We got to the last two minutes and we were down by five. The Nuggets come back and score six unanswered points. Then the lead gets stolen back by the Warriors. Tension is building with the game clock winding down. Everyone was on their feet. With the clock running out, they call for a jump ball . The Nuggets head to the free-throw line for three shots. We make two and intentionally miss the third with 0.04 seconds left. Score is tied at this point with no time left. Wait, again! They put 0.01 seconds back on the clock for one last play. The Nuggets make one more free throw and it's over! It was a wonderful ending to a great game!
