The boys and I recently had the opportunity to go see the New York Liberty vs. Chicago Sky at Madison Square Garden. It was an awesome game and an even better family event!
I am not a sports fanatic. In fact, I barely knew the difference between defense and offense (sad I know) before the August 14 game. Yet that evening I had a blast! I clapped and jumped to my feet when I saw everyone else do the same. At one point, I got caught up in the excitement, mistakenly jumping up for the wrong team! Thankfully, Big K yanked me back down before anyone could notice! =)
During the intermission, we enjoyed Maddie and the Dunkyard Dogs. The boys really enjoyed the tricks and acrobatics. Above is a short video I was able to take.
DJ Sofie Fatale mixed some music for the crowd. She definitely had everyone dancing in their seats and in the aisles! It felt like a concert, especially when they turned the cameras on the crowd! We were able to see ourselves on the big screen. The kids were loving that!
I was able to get a video of Prince while he was rooting for the Liberty team. In this video, they shot a 3 pointer (they actually had to explain this to me afterward). I tried to take it while Prince was unawares but that didn’t work. He’s a ham, as you can see by the video.
The New York Liberty team lost that evening but you wouldn’t have known by the crowds energy or my boys’ smiles.
I would like to thank @HilaryShaev for making it possible for us to see the Liberty team play, as well as @CarissaRogers for bringing us together during #gno! The boys and I were unable to make the original game selected (see previous post HERE), but @HilaryShaev made it possible for us to go to another game. Thank you again. We had a blast!

How awesome to enjoy events with your kids right? Can’t wait till my son is older and can have as much fun as your boys =)
@ Nikki @ Blasian Baby: I truly believe that its the experiences we share with our family that creates a bond, so I love doing things with them! I’m sure you and your son will be the same 🙂
