Rockets Game

We love going down to Houston for Rocket's games, since my cousin works for the Rockets we always get great seats and get to do lots of fun stuff.  We found Clutch (the Rocket's mascot) while we were walking around outside.  Soren is at the age where he is absolutely terrified of mascots, I was trying to get him to take a picture with Clutch, but was freaking out.  After a lot of coaxing from me and others and Clutch showing him how sad he was that he wouldn't take a picture Soren finally let me get close enough to Clutch so we could get a picture taken.  But, as you can see he was definitely not thrilled about the whole thing.

Before the game we got to go down on the floor while the teams were warming up and Jordan got some pictures with Dwight Howard and James Harden (his favorite player) in the background.  Then during halftime Jordan went down and got to be on the court to welcome the team back to the court with high fives.

The game went down to the wire and the Rockets pulled out a victory at the last second.  It was so fun to be there and be part of an awesome game.  Dwight Howard threw his jersey up to a kid about 10 rows in front of us after the game, it was really cool, the kid was so excited!

After the game there was a Q&A with Chandler Parsons and we got to sit on the floor for that.  There were about 1500 people in attendance.  Soren does great during the basketball games because there is a lot going on and he loves to watch the action.  But come time for the Q&A it was late and he was getting pretty restless.  So we were doing our best to keep him in check, but at one point he started to wonder off toward where Parsons' was sitting and I was trying to catch up to him without making a scene when the emcee says "oh, we have a crazy little Rockets fan here."  Parsons looked over at Soren and said "come here, buddy."  So Soren made his way over to Parsons and sat on his lap for a little bit.  Parsons was so nice and was talking to him, it was really cute.  I was so impressed with how nice Parsons was.  It was really cool.
