We decided to settle it the old fashioned way: Angie and I arm-wrestled for the right to take the boys to the game.
Here is the first picture of the night that the winner took. Can you guess who took it?
What can I say? I love dancing. Just kidding. Long story short, Angie let me go even though I lost the arm wrestle. Plus she had book club that night. Now in most marriages it would be no sacrifice for a wife to skip sports and go do girl-talk with appetizers. In our marriage however, Angie is a HUGE sports fan and although I love sports, I am also happy to spend an evening yacking it up and eating finger foods.
Thanks for sacrificing Angie. The boys and I had a great time.
The tickets included passes to all the clubs at the Arena and the area underneath the stadium between the floor and the locker room. At half-time and after the game we gave the players high fives as they ran into the locker room.
After the game we talked Amare Stoudemire into stopping and signing autographs for the boys. They were so excited!
All in all it was quite a lot of fun and hopefully the boys remember the good time we all had with Amare, Shaq, Nash. And the Suns dancers. OK, I don't want them (or Angie) to remember that part.
