A "THUNDERful" Evening!

Last weekend we went to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Premium Party Meet & Greet! My mom and dad have four courtside season tickets for the Thunder games, so we are all crazy about the Thunder boys! Reid has been to several of the games and he watches the games with us at home as well. His favorite player is K.D., of course, but after this meet & greet he decided that he liked James Harden "a lot too because he picked me up and talked to me, mom!" The other day he was playing basketball out in Nana Karen's driveway and he said, "I'm K.D., you're Westbrook, sissy, and Nana...you can be Perk!" My mom was cracking up at this super cute comment! Because we go to all of the games and sit directly behind the players bench, we feel as if we really know the players and their personalities. They don't know us from Adam, but it's still fun to go to the games and have a team that we're so "into," especially since we're one of the top teams in the NBA this year!

We were greeted by a few gorgeous Thunder girls! They tried to take a picture with Reid and give him a high five, but he was in complete shock...I mean, why wouldn't he be?!

.....

They had a kids' buffet set up complete with peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, chips, juice boxes, chicken nuggets, and even basketball whistles and toys!

It truly was a "Thunderful" evening! I must say though, it was a bit stressful. We only had two hours to mingle with the players and we had to spend most of our time following the players around and waiting our turn for a picture or an autograph. K.D. constantly had a group of people crowded around him and he could barely walk or "mingle." However, some of the less popular players like Daequan Cook and Royal Ivey were able to walk around, have conversations with us, and play games with the kids. We are very blessed to be able to attend such an exclusive event, and I'm so grateful that my dad has these season tickets for us. Some of our best times this year have been spent at the Thunder games. I'm hoping for many more "Thunderful" events in the future! Currently, we're tied for the best record in the NBA so this may be OUR YEAR!!!
