Terrific Tuesday

Being on vacation is grand! I’m really enjoying my time off this week–reconnecting with friends and family, shopping, running errands, having fun, and relaxing. It’s so nice. I could get used to this!

Tonight, I went to my second Mavericks game. I’m not a big Basketball fan, but when you get free tickets pretty close to the action, why not go?

My “date” for the evening

Let’s go Mavs!

The Maverick Maniacs, a crazy group of fans featured at the stadium

Tonight was military appreciation night, honoring the soldiers protecting our country.

During half-time, they had a re-enlistment ceremony. It was pretty cool.

They also had some games during breaks where they featured military members competing against each other to win Maverick’s jerseys. This one was Army against Navy and they had to assemble a puzzle. Army smoked the Navy.

Once again, I’m using my grainy cell phone camera to take pictures. One day, I’ll bring my real camera with me to these things. This was the Mavericks Man jumping on a trampoline and dunking the ball. He had some great aerobatic tricks, but the camera couldn’t catch the action.

Ultimately, the Mavericks lost in the final minutes of the game, but we still had a great evening. Tomorrow is vacation day #2…more fun to come!
