my favourite kind of gift. a memory gift. not to be discarded in the dark corners of a messy closet, or lost under a bed or broken or forgotten about altogether. Hudson recently turned twelve, and asked for the chance to see a Raptors game live. we made it happen. this gift was a fun one~ and fun for all eight of us which obviously made it even better! we aren't often together as a whole family these days...so, last Sunday we took the crew to a Raptors game in TO.
DeRozan warming up, dribbling two balls at once like someone in the NBA would :)
Raptors versus the Portland Trailblazers. Hudson was there in his jersey and hat and psyched for a great game of NBA skills and thrills and competitive action. the Raptors did not disappoint. they came back from a early deficit to hold the lead and win!
my guy...wee tangent here, but i love doing life with him...
DeRozan was on his game and dropping baskets like there was nothing to it. the atmosphere was so fun, and the highlight for me was watching my two youngest boys, in particular, as they soaked up the game and watched attentively for all four quarters.
Hudson's name on the jumbo screen! cool birthday mention!
i did get pictures of my oldest four cuties, but they just really didn't turn out. the lighting and vantage point also made it tricky. too bad...
soooo very fun. the heart of Toronto's downtown is also a really fascinating place to explore a bit. we loved the vibe, the buildings, the diversity, the big city feel.
overall an awesome weekend and nice change of pace! very thankful...
