Our Globetrotters Tradition

So we saw the Globetrotters again on Thursday night. We love them. This has become an annual tradition for us. And finally, we have the whole experience down to a science.

We pack a purse full of snacks and goodies, so we don't have to buy the over-priced ones at the arena.

We buy our souvenier program early in the game, preferably before half-time, so we're ready to get autographs as soon as the game is over.

We take our silly self-portraits, and we predict what's going to happen next in the "game."

Then as soon as they will let us, we run onto the court and make our way around to each of the players, sending Seth up to wiggle in front of people to get autographs. When we get about half the team, Sally and I stand in line for one of our favorite "star" Globetrotters (this time it was Flight Time), and we wait for our chance to get a picture with him. In perfect timing, Seth finished his rounds just as we were next in line, and the three of us dove into a picture:

And just like that, the horn sounded and time was up, and all the team members filed into the locker room, while the ushers pushed everyone else out of the arena.

And I'm sure we'll do it all again next year.
