Go! Go! Go!

On Tuesday we took Faith to her first Houston Rockets game. We were fortunate to get free tickets through Keith's work. He had really great seats on the first level, so Faith was able to see all of the action. She enjoyed all of the lights and music and was entertained the majority of the night. Our seats were in the corner where the visiting team comes on to the basketball court.

Since it was Fat Tuesday, several people were dressed for the occasion and we even got free Mardi Gras beads to wear. We started talking to the man seated next to us and it turns out that his son plays for the Utah Jazz. The son's name is Ronnie Price. He isn't a starter yet, but comes off of the bench. I thought that was pretty cool. I looked up his picture and the son looks just like his dad.
The Rockets game was awesome and they played great! We got to see the new guy, Kyle Lowry in action and I think he will be a great addition.

Luis Scola is in the middle. Love him!
Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming!! (sing the song....you know you want to!)
We of course had to check out the Memorial Hermann Sky Court. They had a lot of cool activities that kids of all ages could enjoy!



Can't forget about Topper (Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital's mascot).
Keith and Faith with a few of the Rockets Power Dancers!



Faith almost lasted till the end of the game, but ended up falling asleep some how with all of the noise and cheering in the middle of the fourth quarter, so she didn't get to see her first ROCKETS WIN, but hopefully we will be back this year because we all had a great time!
