USA Basketball
On our way home from the beach we were able to stop in Las Vegas to see one of my old college buddies and his family. Thanks again D and Samye for the hospitality while we came through for the night. We had alot of fun with them and Taylor and Peyton loved playing with Halle and Bennett. D was able to get us tickets to the Team USA vs. Canada game that night. It was awesome seeing the NBA's best players on the court all together on the same team. And of course our 2 favorite players on the team are Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams....Go Jazz! :) The USA won 120-65 so it wasn't to much of a "game". Probably the highlight of the evening was when about 10 servicemen and women who had just returned from Irag and Afghanistan were introduced. The whole crowd gave them a standing ovation as each person was introduced and all the players were up cheering them on as well. Then as they were out on the court the whole crowd starting chanting "USA, USA, USA" It was probably one of the coolest moments and made me so proud to be an American and so grateful for those that sacrifice their lives for our freedoms!!
