First Grizzlies Game

John got some tickets from a friend for Friday night’s Memphis Grizzlies game (our local NBA team). He’s been wanting to take Helen Grace to a game, so we thought it was the perfect opportunity to let her see what it’s all about. She loved the box, danced around while the warm up music played, and intently watched the players making shots. And then…the lights went off, the player introductions started, and the big fire thing exploded. She was NOT a fan of the loud music and fire. (Me either, chica!) So she and I went for a little walk until the game got started. She made it until almost halftime before she got bored, but Dippin Dots and the halftime entertainment perked her up. We left soon after the act was over, but overall, she seemed to really enjoy the game. She thought all the grizzly bear stuff everywhere was cool, although she made it clear that she didn’t want to meet the mascot, Grizz, or a real grizzly bear.
