Sacramento Monarchs

Last Saturday we were invited to watch a Monarchs (WNBA) game in Sacramento with the Kapele's, Mills and DeGarmo's. No, we're not fans. But, we all thought it would be a fun outing together. And it was. We got the (free) group tickets through Andrew's art class so we were seated pretty high up. But, with 10 kids it was PERFECT! The kids could walk around the seating area and be as loud as they wanted. And they were. This was taken before the game and is one of the reasons the kids love Erik so much. He's just a bigger version of them. Above is Jordan, Teagan (upside down), Tristan, Erik, and Clay is on the bottom.
As we were walking into the arena the kids were invited to go to the court and high-five the players as they ran in. Perfect timing! They were given t-shirts and escorted by the staff (and a few other guests) to meet the players. There were being filmed as they were waiting for the team and Max's face was up on the big screen. It was there for just a moment, long enough for Kristen to yell. I missed it. :(
Max was given a t-shirt once they got closer so all the kids/big kids were purple monarchs.

Thank you Andrew for being such a wonderful artist (he really is!) and letting us all join your family at the game. We had a great time!
